Cant do this anymore bye all wrote:

Whilst the Mesa hardware is quite complex (firmware wise) it requires a computer running Linuxcnc to instruct as to what to do.

This is true in the context of LinuxCNC (and this forum) but Mesa do have alternative firmwares that perform motion control in the FPGA.

Is also on linuxcnc. But then in development. Just to cheer you up.


 

There's some generic information here:

linuxcnc.org/docs/html/getting-started/u...e_to_the_new_version

But it might be better to just ask here on the forum with an appropriate topic, like
 "How do I update LinuxCNC to the latest"

etc



 

Which one is that?

PCW,

Okay, I am trying to start with 2.9.3 but am having some trouble, is this just done through the terminal? Do you happen to know the commands to do it? Do I need to find 2.9.3 and install the package on my machine first? 

If it is not too much trouble I could go straight to 2.10.  But I have found zero info on how to do that..

I am running bookworm.  I know that I tried to download whatever was best and most recommended when I set this machine up. 

Thank you.

Best,

2.5 is quite ancient. Maybe have a look at
github.com/jethornton/position-logger


Or simply the subroutine posted above:

Ok,

Now, to cheer you all up,  i just put here some movies i made tonight.

It might be supported by 2.9.3 if not then you must use 2.10

You should be able to upgrade to 2.9.3 with the package manager
if you are running s normal Debian LinuxCNC release

PCW,

Thank you.

Okay, as best I can tell I am running 2.9.0 (that is what is show at the top of my axis gui and what I see when I use linuxcnc -v).  You reminded me that Peter said something about needing 2.10.. Do you know if I need 2.10?

Can I update linuxCNC? Do I have to wipe the entire machine or can I just update? Will I loose any system configuration data if I do this or will that all be stored in my machine folder? 

Best,
