What version should be installed?

None, no need if you do not intend to use the dev version and do custom components.
At least that is true for the RT version, seems the same for RTAI from your results.

OK, it works, nice, and thank you for reporting this as this was not mentioned till now as a reason for failing with segfault.
Now it would be nice to leave it as is and do some more tests, make some more configs (yes you can have as many configs as you like) and see what triggers the segfault. Try PDM instead of PWM, some random values for min max values, whatever you can.
Again, thank you, this is very important info.
 

I'm the one who's grateful, after all I'm learning a lot. My mind is no longer the same lol

That is a common issue with the latest RTAI kernel/LinuxCNC that was fixed to a certain point.

Very nice, thank you.

Some new info on the segfault issue here, do check if it is using the relevant RTAI kernel, i need sleep badly.
Thank you, all.

He’s made quite a few small machines. I like his channel.

OK, I'll install it and see how it behaves

Hi!

These are probably all my lathe NGCGUI routines. I have been making them for several years now. Everytime I need a new one I find some time to code it down.

I tried to keep them as close as Mach3 Wizards as I could. I even edited the images to look similar.

They were running just fine in my latest retrofit.

I hope it helps someone.

Note that 'halui.axis.jog-speed' needs to be set for plus minus jogging:

Thanks for that, however setting halui.axis.x.plus did not help.
When I press the Arduino button, the jog-x-pos and the halui.axis.x.plus indicators both change from yellow to red. For some reason they don't trigger an actual jog.
 

We asked for return of the card to eliminate it as a possible cause of your issues.
We do ask for shipping for cards returned to Mesa, If no problem is found we would
ask for return shipping. If a board fault exists (that's not customer caused) , we would ship
a warranty replacement card at no additional cost.

Technical things:

1. Its not a firmware issue. Firmware without a valid CRC will fail to load

2. A watchdog bite means communication failed for long enough to trigger the watchdog
This means major issue with communications. This could be a faulty 7I96S (though
it would be a very unlikely error type)  checking the card would eliminate it as a possible cause.

Not sure why loading the DKMS driver would cause you to lose your network, 
This needs to solved as a separate issue.

My guess is the issue is the common problem with the built in Realtek driver which requires:

1. Installing the Realtek 8168 DKMS driver
2. Disabling Ethernet and ASPM PCIE power management in the kernel command line

This thread details these operations:

In addition, it could also be that you still have some power saving /cstates>C1/speed switching enabled in the BIOS



 

I hadn't opened it yet but I got this message on the screen

I would skip that for now, make the machine move first, later when you are happy that it works, you can punish yourself with some fine tuning!
Set the base period to 100000 at first (write 60000 in the jitter value in StepConf wizard), see if you get latency warnings when running LinuxCNC, and if you do not, then you can lower that value in 10000 increments.
