OK I've got my machine setup to use geany as the program text editor in my ini. program would upen if i hit "edit" gui button.  Tool table wouldn't open using the drop down in axis. My tool.tbl does work though, as I can open it externally and add tools and linuxcnc picks it up. Then I tried switching my ini to use gedit just to see what happens.  It appears new linuxcnc doest have gedit anymore so it didn't work. Switched back to geany, and now neither tool table or program edit works. Seems buggy. Will my pyvcp panel work or easily port to a not-terrible gui?

Hmm I'm not seeing any options in Debian to auto login. I did some googling here and there over the last few weeks and havnt found a good way yet. My 10+ year old Ubuntu linuxcnc machine seemed a lot simpler to get going. Debian seems annoying so far.

Hi Andy,
yes it is that machine, It is not the only machine, it is the only prototype of the NC version..

My information is, that over serveral years less than a total of 20 units of all versions were built and sold.
There were 3 versions available
- a manual version (can be seen on on lathes.co.uk)
- a NC version like mine with combined servo-drives and handwheels
- a CNC version with a Siemens control,unit an without handwheels (there ios one on Ebay in Germany - can be fpund under "Prätecma")

Best regards

Hartwig

Niiice !!

Do you have power connected to the orange TB1 header? The Jumper W1 connects VIN to VField but you still need to supply power to VField/VIN and GND. My 7i76eu is powered entirely by 24V going to both TB1 Pin 5 / Pin 8 for field voltage and TB3 Pin 21/ Pin 24 for logic power. My PNP sensors work flawlessly although it took me some time to figure out how to set the inputs to sinking/sourcing.
