Sorry I wasn't clear about what I asked. I meant the keyboard hot keys to jog the extended axis like A.

If you mean these they should be created automatically when an A axis is defined in the ini:

 

I cannot seem to find the jog keys for the A axis. Where they included recently?

I see it was moved to there. I looked at the documentation and it showed to be elsewhere.
Old dogs and new tricks.

Hello everyone, after the resignation of my very esteemed colleague, I need to set up the software on a functional system using a LinuxCNC mesa7i76e card with a Raspberry Pi 4. When the SD card got corrupted, I had to reinstall the software, but I have no knowledge about this subject. I downloaded the LinuxCNC 2.8.0-pi4 image file from the internet and wrote it to the SD card. The system runs, but I can't establish communication with the Mesa card during the setup. If anyone can provide support on this matter, I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance and have a good day.

In the latest release (3.4.8) there should be a checkbox 'Use keyboard shortcuts' on the 'Advanced Settings' page:
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gui/gmoccapy.html...apy:tool-measurement

I just installed a new machine with Gmoccapy and I found that there are no keyboard hotkeys enabled. So I find this in the manual.

There are many more machines running without MPG or Touch screens that make use of keyboard hot keys to jog. Why does it get removed without option to enable it?
Can anyone tell me how to get the keyboard hotkeys enabled so I can jog the machine?
 

all the tools offsets are reset by the same amount.

So do you mean the all tool offsets in the tool table or only the currently active tool offset?

No double posting.

Use the included PncConf wizard, it is in the main menu and it has 7i96.
Do you have 7i96 or 7i96S ?
What was the issue with parallel port?

I have been trying for some time to get linuxcnc working with a parallel interface with no luck. As a result I have just purchased my first 7i96 card and I am prepping to get started. Everything I read says to use the 7i96 configuration tool but l the links are broken (404 error).
Can someone help? 

I put a big divet in my mill table due to G43 cancelling on E-stop. Not a fan!

You made a fantastic job on that cabinet. Respect!

I wouldn’t trust Windows anything to pour a glass of water.
But if you must, there has been a changer in one of the vnc apps, can’t remember which, which doesn’t allow a user to login remotely as well as locally. Linuxcnc is just Debian under the hood, nothing special other than Linuxcnc being installed. So any tutorials for Debian bookworm on vnc will be fine (the platform won’t matter). Since the linuxcnc images aren’t based on the Raspbian images any tutorials for the RPI5 using the Raspbian images will not be
what you want.
But before you do anything ensure you have a physical estop if you insist on vnc, cos if you lose your connection you’ve lost control of the machine.
