Can i use 5A Sanyo Denki 60mm stepper motors?
 

Of course you can. Plenty of ethercat stepper drivers out there. even 2,3 and 4 motor controls in the single driver...

You are forgetting one thing. Linuxcnc is based on Linux and depends on the Linux preempt_rt kernel to provide a real time thread (the servo thread).  To use a different OS like  BSD or RTEMS, you will need to rebuild a large amount of the Linuxcnc application not to mention the huge number of dependencies that are prerequisites.

When will GitHub start building versions for 2.10/master branch? It really is necessary.

There should be no need for any HAL trickery now, the issue is fixed in the latest LinuxCNC release. (2.9.7)

Do you want to submit a pull request?

Got a bit more work done on the machines control panel. All of the buttons I currently want in it are wired in to the 7i73 so I just need to update the .hal file to use the new inputs on the button matrix. Still plan on adding buttons if needed as well as integrating my MPG and axis selector switch etc. to the panel but for now it is all wired up short of the drive enable and estop as that stuff is in the garage and I am in the house

M67 is probably what you want. It sets the output at the moment that the next motion command starts.
Otherwise there isn't much to choose between M68 and S.
Using Z is sometimes suggested, but that can interfere with the XY motion due to path blending constraints.

Well I'm not a mind reader, but I think if you fix the error it will work.

You could try calling Mesa on the phone?

store.mesanet.com

The phone number is right at the top of the page.

I will try that... ang give news

Bonjour. J'ai une ancienne installation de LinuxCNC, réalisée il y a des années par une autre personne sur mon ordinateur Optiflex-7020. Malheureusement, plus rien ne fonctionne et cette personne est injoignable.

Je souhaite donc repartir de zéro en testant le tout sur un autre disque dur installe temporairement.

J'ai branché un disque dur vierge (SATA 160 Go) sur l'ordinateur, puis j'ai installé Linux Mint 22.1 (Cinnamon 64 bits) avec succès.

Sur le site web linuxcnc.org/downloads/, j'ai choisi le paquet LinuxCNC pour le noyau RTAI 5.4.25.

Après avoir cliqué avec le bouton droit sur le fichier et sélectionné « Ouvrir avec Gdebi », le message d'erreur suivant s'affiche : « Erreur, La dépendance ne peut être satisfaite : libboost-python1.74.0-py311 ».

J'ai besoin d'aide (je suis débutant sous Linux, mais je peux me débrouiller avec des instructions – j'ai un peu d'expérience).

Que me conseillez-vous ?
Mon objectif est d'exécuter LinuxCNC avec une interface simple et d'avoir accès aux applications de base (Firefox, LibreOffice, etc.). Merci d'avance.

Don't neglect the possibility of simply connecting the same physical wire to both a uart and and encoder phase.

I have an old installation of LinuxCNC made years ago by someone else on my Optiflex-7020 computer. For some reason, nothing works anymore and the guy is unreachable.
I want to start for scratch.
I plugged a blank hard drive (SATA 160Gb) in the computer, then successfully installed Linux Mint 22.1 (Cinnamon 64 bit).
From the web site linuxcnc.org/downloads/ I chose  LinuxCNC package for RTAI kernel 5.4.25  .After right clicking on the file "open with Gdebi", here is the error message that appears <the dependency cannot be satisfied : libboost-python1.74.0-py311.
Need help (I am a beginner with Linux but I can manage with steps and instructions - a bit of experience). What do you suggest? The goal is to run LinuxCNC with a simple interface and have access to basic applications (Firefox, libreOffice etc.).
Thanks in advance.

I installed probe basic and tried to run it, but it gives an error.
