can you send me a sample of config file for both method?

Thanks tommylight. When I had run a search on open source 4 or 5 axis cam not much came up. Today's search
engines seem to be almost worthless. With that said I'll check into BlenderCam.

Thank you for the time and effort you put into this tool, Once you can wrap your head around what is going on its awesome. I do have a humble request thought. Would it be possible to add the qtplasmac set up or at least the plasma pins needed to set up a machine. thank you 

Sounds like you may be using 2.7 or lower.
Please use the 2.9.3 ISO on the downloads page.

in my pc there is no uefi this is older pc with e8600
i instal clear debian bookworm without any issus
linuxcnc need conection to the internet when is installing?

I would use the oldest PC (i5, 4th gen) Most of my Linuxcnc  PC's are Celeron 4 gb, but an i3 I am working on now is also nice.
Stick with Debian 12 as that's what our ISO is based on.

Set up 2 configs. One for the router with QTdragon_HD and one for the plasma using QTplasmac and select them depending on what you want to do.

QTdragon is very good with probing. I premeasure my tools and do a manual tool change with TTS holders but it also supports tool length measurement. Follow Tommy's advice on the 6th motor.
Also, you may need to get an extra Mesa 7i84 I/O board as you may run out of inputs. THis connects  via smart serial so it can be installed with a BOB.
 

Very cool.
Re way covers, I was looking at some similar machines and the linear rails extended past the frame unsupported to support the covers and/or bellows. (I have been looking at cast iron frames similar to this for a project..)
 

The tool tip moves exactly to the center of the workpiece at 45 degrees. It is the same as if you had a normal support, only from the other side and at 45 degrees.

Danke, schaue ich mir an.

 

Tool mag for the direct collet spindle on the prototype machine.
Seems pretty easy. I want to use one of the little 100w lichuan ethercat servos with absolute encoder.

In my head this should basically work the same as a static tray atc, commanding the magazine to rotate as a W axis to a position from an o-sub.


 

How can block spindle from rotating when hydraulic tool holder cluch is open?

Try:linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/man/man9/motion.9.html#MOTION%20PINS

I'm guessing that RISC V production costs more because the manufacturers don't have the advantage of massive discounts when they order millions of them. Beagle stuff has never really been cheap for what it is.

I don't want change gear when spindle is run so gearchange.

Does this done automatically by iocontrol v2 ?

Mesa 7i96S can drive 10 steppers, 5 on its screw terminals and another 5 on the 26 pin header.
Using a BOB and an adapter cable from IDC26 to DB25 is prefferable for ease of use/installation.
Might need firmware flashing, though, so use mesaflash to read the existing firware, and if needed, to flash the new firmware.
Mesaflash is included with the official ISO.

What are you using to write the image to USB?
And how are you writing them?
Simple copy does not work.
Try win32diskimager, balena etcher, rufus, and if all fails, give DD a try.
Also, disable UEFI in BIOS and enable compatibility mode, if possible.

Yes and yes, probably, it is 8:20AM here and i have not slept yet, so i might be hallucinating.
As for switches, i never worry about them, usually a single resistor is enough to make them work, whatever the type and input.
