RLA,

Did you execute the following?

sudo apt install python3-distro


When I run I get the following error message.

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done

Package python3-distro is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'python3-distro' has no installation candidate

I know i have.
-Pinned to find easily.
Thank you for everything.
P.S.
Why rp1lib? Why not rp5lib?
Just wondering, as i am not into RPI for quite a while.

People may have been wondering why I have been a little quiet on the forum of late and that pull requests to Remora have been slow to be merged. Well, I've been working away on getting SPI on the Raspberry Pi 5 working so that we can support the SPI version of Remora. I'm now happy to share where things are up to.

github.com/scottalford75/rp1lib

The BCM2835 library was the inspiration, a library that gave access to all the chip peripherals. Hopefully the rp1lib can become the start of something similar.

Rather than reinventing the wheel, the library utilises the gpiochip_rp1 library for GPIO and I've adapted the kernel Designware driver for user space.

Next step is to update the Remora component, which is not too far off as I've got the RPi version detection working already.

You need 5I24-25 firmware for a 7I52S_7I33+7I44:

 
 

Hmm, that is the useless package that is on Bookworm.

I am afraid that I am out of ideas. Maybe post in the installing linuxcnc  section.
 

@grotius .....   ... I see now your linuxcnc-trajectory-planner ...... you are strong boy .....

ok how do i write a driver for 5i24-25 with 7i52s, 7i33ta, 7i44. 

i kinda want to know how that works. its an fpga right 
 

no worries, hope you get it sorted out!

the hal pin for the load insicator is spindle-load-indicator, just connect in hal as with any other connection, you will need to feed it the analog and give it a scale. the indicator scale in the ui is 0-150%
