No success Phil, I still get the M190 related error, see screenshot attached. I must admit I have never used sim configurations, so this is out of my depth

My bad...

Need to remove the ~ from the beginning of the second line:

 I am using your recent image only but i con't able to intall ethercat -master following this

Hi Phil,

I get this :

plasma@plasma:~$ mkdir -p ~/linuxcnc/nc_files/m_files
plasma@plasma:~$ cp ~/usr/share/doc/linuxcnc/examples/nc_files/plasmac/m_files/* ~/linuxcnc/nc_files/m_files/
cp: cannot stat '/home/plasma/usr/share/doc/linuxcnc/examples/nc_files/plasmac/m_files/*': No such file or directory

This is out of my territory I am afraid

There must be an issue with pathing differences between package installs and run in place installs...

Try this as a workaround from a terminal:Then restart linuxcnc again.

So many acronyms, I just assumed the db prefix was a database file name. Then again Daughter Board makes sense.
Thanks again

Sorry cmorley, I was away from home so could not reply. I have attached a simple g-code program where this issue became visible. 

Hi Phil,

It seems having to do with missing "M190" and this section in the ini file :
[RS274NGC]
RS274NGC_STARTUP_CODE = G21 G40 G49 G80 G90 G92.1 G94 G97 M52P1
PARAMETER_FILE = metric_parameters.txt
SUBROUTINE_PATH = ./:../../nc_files
USER_M_PATH = ./:../../nc_files/plasmac/m_files

But that's as far as I can get ?

Interestingly I made a sim from your config and it showed the same error but it did actually work. It also worked correctly on your gcode file.

Is it possible that your screen is "laggy" and does not update quick enough?
 

Hi Phil,

Somehow I have a sim configuration, but it throws an error on opening, see image attached. Sorry, I have no experience with sim configurations at all

Wow, I have not seen anything like that before, I have no clue...

Try this from a terminal: 

Hi Phil,

I can only get this far, see screenshot attached. No menu opening up to pick a sim configuration ?

--dbnameN 7i85

Means use Daughter Board pin names instead of the default FPGA connector pin names.
There is no file involved, just a structure in mesaflash that has the daughter board
pin/terminal block names. 'N' is the port,1,2,3 etc

Most of our Ethernet SPI FPGA cards are 7IXX, PCI are 5IXX PCIE 6Ixx PC104 4IXX

Thank You very much

Could you try it in the below sim, you will need to add a material #16 with the correct feed rate.
