Hello,
First post on this forum so please go easy on me. LOL
This will be my 4th build, but this time I'm using Servos not steppers.
For now, I'll be using Mach3 - to get this up and running, then I'm very interested in learning Linux as a whole, then learning Linux CNC and using it on this machine.
That being said. The Parker GV drive Motion Planner is like learning Japanese when you're blind, deaf, and just came off a bender. I was told that there's software out there that is much easier to use to set up all of the parameters. Anyone know of anything?

Thx

Hi All 
i would like some help / direction  in setting up a wired xbox controler to my cnc i am using Ubuntu  10.04 the lucid lynx  ,linux cnc 2.5.3
any poiinters thanks  

The other part I always mess up is after installing.

so I’m going to config a machine with 7i76eu + thcad-2 (I think, whatever model the currently have). So I need to configure the system with plasmac

i alway alway forget how to set plasmac on the system.

thanks for the support,i also tried with remora-eth-3.0.c, unfortunately the thing is the same with nvem1 and nvem2 cards, latency error, while it knows the network, let me turn on the machine, but very soon a joint following error appears as well as a repeated loss of the network, it's not worth it, I'll try to restore the mach3 firmware.

That worked thank you!

Each pin has a status LED on the PMDX-122 breakout board.

The CNC machine has no stepper drivers yet.

It does not actually move mechanically.

Would soaking the grease nipples in Jig-A-Loo unclog them?
