Exactly:
When I set up mesact I missed a value on the Settings page for the global Linear Velocity which is in addition to the individual axes values
Set that to 15 and I have motion on G0

Many thanks

For $214 a pop I can purchase 1000w 220v servo motors with drivers. Really does not seem to unreasonable I'm not really sure tho if this would be way overkill but I figure it's better to go bigger and work the motor less. I included a link below. Is there any disadvantage to running a set up like this? I think I will stick with the original motors to get the machine running but I'd like to understand more about servo vs stepper.

Not sure if this applies to your setup but classicladder does not seem to work with [HAL] TWOPASS = on

Little update I completed the sheet metal storage rack for my plate processing operation. Posted a few pics below. Going to get started on setting up the plasma table. I need to design a water table so I know what height to build the gantry to. Do you think it's worth it to obtain a few more of those steppers? I can hunt down more of these redbox machines to rob them from. Do you think they would have the power required to drive the gantry? I estimate it's 3-500 lbs I like the idea of high precision. I don't think I would save much money after wasting the time to aquire the redboxs tear them down etc but if there high quality components and really special it may be worth it. Got any expereince with water tables? Know of any good designs to work off of? Seems like a good amount of engineering is required to make sure it's strong enough to not collapse alot of weight is put on em aswell as I want to be able to raise and lower water height automatically, maybe even control it electronicly with electro pnumatic valves.

The SPI driver has nothing to do with Armbian, it's in the kernel, it seems to be a known issue with the default (example) driver. Unless their is a proper SPI driver for the rk3399 it won't be different on that sbc. AFAIK there's only made a realtime driver for the RPI.
Unfortunately I don't have a spi board to test with, perhaps it helps to pin the irq of spi to an isolated core?

I've seen that there has been a rt patch for one board for a quite old kernel, I can try to find that one and if I'm able to apply that on the newer kernel.
 

Is there really a real-time kernel version for the rk3399, like the one for Raspberry Pi? Because I haven't been able to find anything about it.Also, if you manage to find something useful with the older kernel, I’d really appreciate it if you could let me know. Thanks

Just tested on master and it seems it fails to show the correct 'current_line = 5' during the first run right after starting the config. After that it works for me.
Not sure why it fails the first time though other than that ''current_line" does not seem to update before an actual move of axis has taken place.

[edit]
The other thing that seems like a bug is that 'mcodes' always contains 'M0'.

 

Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+t) and enter this command
then choose your config and check for errors in the terminal output.
