Thanks, I will have a look at those lines tonight.
Also, Tommylight's reply appears to raise concerns re the parallel port. Is the below possibly relevant?

• Make sure LinuxCNC does not prevent the Linux parport_pc driver from loading. Older versions of LinuxCNC would blacklist parport_pc in /etc/modprobe.d/linuxcnc.conf (or /etc/modprobe.d/emc2.conf for even older versions of LinuxCNC). Comment out any lines in either of those files that looks like this:
  install parport_pc /bin/true
• Make sure your Hal configuration does not have loadrt probe_parport in any .hal file.
  
  And possibly this is also a problem now? 
  "Joints_axes updates
  When you update LinuxCNC, the update_ini script will automatically convert your user configurations. If the script detects that your configuration needs to be updated, it will offer to edit your user files and create an updated configuration. "
  
  If there are multiple more problems, maybe I should have/still could try to update my old computer Linuxcnc (not sure of version offhand but c.2007) before copy over the linuxcnc folder?

Edit: I did originally consider updating linuxcnc first but believe my version of Debian is too old for that, so probably not a route I can go down.

Seems to be a problem with python2/gtk2 vs python3/gtk3. With version 2.9 Linuxcnc no longer supports python2/gtk2 so  'stdglue.py' , 'probe_screen.py'/'probe_screen.glade' and possibly 'spindle_button.glade' would need to be updated.


[Edit]

This might be of interest:
github.com/verser-git/probe_screen_v2.9

This is the solution... Thanks....

If you are using master branch - I added jog increment pins:

qtdragon.jog-linear-increment
qtdragon.jog-angular-increment

Tonight I focused on getting my handwheel working. RIO is just a fantastic software!

I was also able to get a video of the problem of my Y axis.

I noticed a few things: The units in the display of LinuxCNC are sometimes jumping around a little bit. I think that was discussed somewhere earlier her. Will dig that out. Maybe that's the reason why I measured Step pulses and the motors shake even when I did not move an axis.

A few words to my machine. X and Z are are Nema 23 Motors (23HS30-2804S) with www.omc-stepperonline.com/digital-steppe...stepper-motor-dm332t DM332T driver. Z Axis has the highest resolution 5mm pitch ball screw and 3200 microsteps/round. Brings it to a scale in LinuxCNC of 800. As shown in the video I have no issues going up to 3600mm/min.

The Y Axis have 2x  www.microkinetics.com/index.php?page=stepper_motors/34m450 34M450 Microkinetics Motors with www.microkinetics.com/pdfmanuals/DM8010.pdf DM8010 Driver.5mm pitch ball screw and 2000 microsteps/round. Scale 640 in Linuxcnc. I limited the axis to 1950mm/min, but it's still stalling.

All axis are connected over the same Breakout board with no level shifter.

I doubt that the problem has something to do with RIO, but I am not sure. Still a myth what the problem is.

Yes I had forgotten, its the RPI3 that uses USB --> Ethernet
I should know since I have run a Mesa Ethernet card from a RPI4.

 (I think some RPI4 --> Ethernet motion card users needed to increase
the servo thread period to 2 ms to get it to run reliably)

Cant do this anymore bye all wrote:

I was always under the impression that up to version 3 the ethernet was on the USB bus and 4 and after were on the PCIe bus.

Me too !

Disable "secure boot" in PC's BIOS.

I was always under the impression that up to version 3 the ethernet was on the USB bus and 4 and after were on the PCIe bus.

Lenovo are the same, still an easier option than messing around with a PCI or PCIe card.

This post  has been edited to suit a pressure sensor on a analog input.

I tried this but I got an error like
./my-mill.hal:57: Pin 'somePin' does not exist

You probably need the command in a postgui hal file as the pin won't exist until the gui is created.

I'm installing LinuxCNC on a new old computer.
I got toe error "caught signal 11 - dumping core".
I wonder what I am doing wrong?

Here is the report that was generated.
