Now fixed. They had a bug in the DKMS deb files. Grab this Linuxcnc ISO which has the new keys in it.
ISO:  drive.google.com/file/d/1gEQzgHsj_LjHiGB...k1Z/view?usp=sharing
Folder with all generated files:  drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pwDh_jn8...QcQwcLv7?usp=sharing

This  ISO also corrects installing a pre-release version of Linuxcnc and no installs 2.93 as intended. 
I have asked the devs to copy this ISO to the downloads page.

The only thing I can think of at the moment is that your x axis is not homed which would inhibit axis jogging.

You seem to have a lot going on there.
First thing I would suggest is to simplify things by choosing which jog method you actually want to use and then test this method in the 'Halshow' tool without all the connections in your hal.
For example this situation should jog the x-axis:

 

Alternatively this should also jog your x axis:
 

Also, posting your hal and ini files might give us a better idea of what you have going on.
 

 

I commented out the 3 lines related to the Arduino stuff in io.hal and postgui.hal to make sure that they are not doing something strange. I then tried both your suggestions and assuming that "setting" all three in the first example or just halui.axis.x.plus (in HalShow -watch), should cause a jog, it does not in either case. So I think there is something missing between those parameters in halshow and the real time thread causing then to be ineffective. I have attached my configuration files.
 

For anyone copying and pasting - typo in absolute

Have a look at the mesa boards:

It won't get more flexible and expandable then that.

Hi...I guess it is not as simple as I thought...will be for auto lathe ..not sure of transmission types..may not need closed loop ..i have closed loop steppers now but from what I understand it is limited...
The main thing I am looking for is to be able to switch from mach3 with breakout board (6 Axis) through ethernet smoothstepper. to stepper drivers to stepper motors used in various ways.
. to a linuxcnc setup that can drive existing drivers and motors in any setup ...question is what board(s) would be required to make the swap ?...keeping in mind I would need 9 axis to run at same time?
Not sure about in/out but anything recommended should allow for some.
details of what may be needed are not at hand yet....just looking to start and be flexible in future to add as needed.
Thanks!!

Thanks for any help

I have some 2500PPR differential output incremental encoders, so yes, 6+2 wires.
No commutation angle, these are brushed servos, and yes it is quite hard to tune them without using the tacho, but i already did that several times for testing stuff with smaller motors.

I really wonder why this forum exists if there is no one here to help even add a password?
or if no one will help and do this, then you should state this on the forum. You should write the following: "No one does anything for anyone else here. Do not expect anything from anyone. You should do everything yourself."

Hello,
I am not going to advertise any CNC here right now. But if I have to explain, there are 2 brands. I will explain

I am a newbie to linuxcnc but I think you are also a newbie to these forum topics. What is a forum and what is it for? Why do people write to forums? If no one will help me and solve my problem, what is the need for a forum?

I think you are far from professional CNCs. Devices with inputs and outputs that can control 256 axes are 1000 euros. Also, a person who needs help is a novice in these matters, how can he contribute? Did you start this job by helping directly? Did you not need help at all in the beginning? I have been working on it for a month, I opened a few issues in just a few days, and I only got a half-answer on 1 issue.

hello,

excuse me, I want to know more about 256axis/€1k... because I have a lack of experience I think... I saw many solutions with that number of axis but they have had more or less €100k price tag

regards...

If this forum was created to help, then someone is doing something for others. Then there is nothing more natural than asking someone for help. If someone is not going to do it, if someone is not going to help, then why does this forum exist?

What you said is unfortunately very inconsistent. Is this help forum only for answers like "change the source code" or "this is not possible"? If someone cannot even set a password for this button, tell me what this help forum is for. I think it is a job of a few minutes, not hours, for a person who knows how to set a password. I think you have less knowledge about this than me.

LOL, Are you for real?
Well either you are a noob in the worst sense of the word or you are a troll.

Either way, I'm done.

[edit]
Just in case something may have got lost in translation here:
I'm not suggesting that it would take hours to add a password query to a button press event. What I meant was that the person who created that GUI spent a LOT of time doing it and donated the work for you to use. To come to a free support forum and expect prompt customizations to something that is already a generous give away is what is frankly staggering arrogance in my view.
But, who knows, maybe somebody will put some time aside and do the work for you.

Are you here to help people or to argue with them? Why does it bother you that I share my experiences and express my opinions? Explain to me the purpose of this forum, isn't this forum for helping? Is asking for help a crime?

Thank you, i really appreciate you trying to help.
Thank you very much.

Which type of encoder you want to attach at the ball screw?

Because if you have just TTL rs422(6cable signal + 2cable source) is pain to setup the servo, because you have to know a commutation angle.. best budget way is to use a resolver for every type of universal servo driver...
