Hi Friends, 
This might not be the best place for this but I've already posted on their forum and was suggested i try here. 
forum.nomachine.com/topic/cant-find-appl...fter-package-install

because sometimes its easier to work on my central machine and not walk back and forth to the machine while trying to make tweaks and changes I have found NoMachine. From what i've read it seems to be a windows to linux remote desktop tool and seems to work based on what i've read. 

The issue i am having; after the .deb file downloads and i double click to open it with the package installer i click install package and then nothing happens. No file, no application, nothing to be found. I have been trying to command line install it to no avail. Any idea if the Debian that linux cnc runs is different in a way that could effect the install of this type of software? 

 

I have a servo motor with an absolute encoder that can send and receive data via RS485 RTU. I was also able to receive the encoder data using mb2hal. The encoder data includes the pulse count and the number of turns. The pulse count changes between 0 and 65535 per turn. The number of turns counts up from zero for positive numbers and decreases by one from 65536 for negative numbers. Now, my question is, first, how can I convert this value in HAL to an angle and then to a length, and second, how can I use this value for homing?

What exactly does that imply?

I really think Tommy wants to pick a fight with whole of the western world!

Nah, this was just to prove that this forum is very polite, even in such extreme cases when someone blabbers nonsense, like me here.
Last week we had two members complaining about exactly that, blaming the forum members for replies they got, while questions mostly did not warrant a reply at all, but still they got polite replies and maximum effort in helping them.
I vividly recall a few years back someone calling us here "morons" and still he got polite replies ... and got fired from his job, as he got a job he had no basic knowledge of, then came here hoping we can magically save him.
I can not find that one, but i did find the other one using the same language:

forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-q...r-not-working#140335
-
So to reiterate:
This is the best forum in the world!!!

Hi
Need someone to setup a couple of machines.
Please get in touch if available.

This is for PlasmaC so has a lot of other stuff you might not need, but the homing stuff is with shared switches to save on inputs.

Hi Friends, 

Sorry for the delay in getting and update posted. I got the tandem limit switch wired up and all of the pins inverted so now i am getting a red state at idle but when the limit switch or estop is depressed it turns yellow. So all my estop and limit pins seem to be working as expected.

I think this topic is solved. I have a litany of other issues that if i need novel help ill create a new topic. I appreciate your help. Slowly but surely we're going to get a working machine.

Hello from Florida. What is this snow you speak of? LOL

I have a cousin in Orlando, some years ago i called him new years eve, it was -17C here while he was in shorts drinking and wandering through town! I still hate him for that, i like summer.

Desiccant sounds good at first, but these do "fill up" quickly. I have dozens of these bags in a 3D printer filament storage container. Even though it is completely sealed (with a gasket), all those bags are only good for about a year. Then they all must be baked at 110degC for 8-12h to rejuvenate them; moisture is insidious.

If you try this, place a quality hygrometer inside. Will likely find that the humidity stays low for only a month or so, even with a good seal.

The moisture alone probably is not causing the inability to start. The way most computers and power supplies are designed, just is not favorable to low temperatures. Very few are, because that is not a typical use case for a computer. Section 5.6 of the RaspberryPi4B says that is good down to 0degC - but then must consider whatever power supply is used for it. The characteristics of semiconducting materials changes as temperature changes, so functionality at low temps has to be something designed into it. Once had a quirky home computer that "complained" at 19degC and refused to run at 18.

If it were my machine, I'd put a heater (like a hair dryer on low setting) near the computer, along with a thermostat. Set the thermostat to say 20degC, and just let it warm up until the thermostat starts cycling. Of course need to be careful nothing can get too hot. Warming should take an hour or more - rushing it is not advised; the whole computer needs to warm up slowly. Then run the machine. That may be easier than re-engineering a quirky power supply or replacing the computer.  Unless anyone knows of an industrial-rated computer (and power supply.)

Is the config file really located there?
Normally there is a sub-directory to configs, like
