Multicore on with ISOLCPU=1 did the trick I think we are all sweet now.

Base thread max jitter with 5 GLXgears was 7300 when I opened a youtube video and let it play for a bit it only got up to 12200
I think.... I HOPE that is good enough for my little milling machine. Thanks again for all your help guys

 

The Mesa Configuration Tool is here:
gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/mesact/index.html

With this tool you can read and flash a Mesa board, build your configuration files with no preset machine types.

If you just have an A axis Mesa CT will build that.

 

If you encounter an error use the issue tracker if you can or report it here.

The devil always is in the details.
I line by line reviewed manuals and code again.
My issue with the spindle not starting and the vfd being stuck at the state mentioned above is the result of connecting pin lcec.o.spindle.fault-reset to machine-is-on. Accordingly, the pin is always high in following the implementation of lcec_dems300 this results in a bit of the control word being always 0 (where it should switch to one).

I fixed this using a oneshot.

What remains is the factor of x10 in the RPM transmission (with the received being too high!). No idea what causes this. Typically one would expect something like 1000 being interpreted as 100.0 but that would be factor 10 smaller and not larger. I will likely fix this by setting velocity scale accordingly. It still bugs me though... 

Looks like you're trying to open an ini file, can you attach that file? I don't get any errors here opening an ini file created with Mesa CT.

You can't delete an installed deb with the file manager, as cornholio said you have to right click on the deb and open with gdebi and select Remove Package.

Hi Jt,

How to run the flexgui in a rip environment? qtvcp axis run's. qtvcp dependencies are installed.
I don't know where to copy the files to.
 

I just confirmed that when running a RIP if flexgui is installed using the deb then LinuxCNC will find it.

When I'm testing code I run sim_axis_xyzh.ini from the examples then launch flex from a terminal with ./flexgui

Cheers I'll give it a go, (Its a first gen I5 so dual core)

I'm in SA

yes, it is a spiral in the corresponding plane (g17 for Z)

Linuxcnc is also able to draw multiturn spirals
G2 or G3 <X- Y- Z- I- J- P-> where P is the number of turns

Full circle or spiral programming is possible without axis words 
G2 Z- I- J- P-

There's no G64, but theres G61, which disables G64. It means "exact travel mode", i.e. hit every point exactly, no tolerance.

The RS274NGC_STARTUP_CODE is executed on first start of LinuxCNC machine, but the G61 setting is lost after "soft-cycling" power following the steps I explained above.

I changed the HAL file to loadrt parport cfg="0xd880 out", and LinuxCNC opens now Next - test on my machine.....huge thanks from me!

Doesn't make much sense.
Copy & paste of the relevant output will make life easier.

HAL isn't an issue until you start a config, the important part is to get the correct address.
run
And copy & paste the output

That's the kernel that a standard install already has.

To be honest I'd re enable multi core, and test with that. Leave Hyperthreading disabled.
If the results aren't that great you can add isolcpus=2,3 (assuming 4 core)
isolcpus=1 (assuming dual core)

Whereabouts in Oz is ya ?

Hi,

@Grotius do you mean similar to a boring operation where it's interpolation of xyz like a thread? 
Yes.

In the linuxcnc axis gui it draws a spiral (i think). So normally you would not mention, he this is a spiral.
You see in the gcode line, there is a little z difference in the upfollowing arc move.
 

In my gui it draws a pure arc on xy plane. I did not expect to draw a spiral.
 

So this is a spiral?

If so, i have to check if the g2, g3 moves have a z difference.
This is not difficult, but i have to create a spiral in opencascade, and a interpolation model for a spiral.

I will try what is in the thread- I do see (Wrong ID) in the lspci -k output, so this is a HAL issue?

It is indeed an AX99100 - lspci shows that. I will read your thread now

i see an Asix PCIe to Multi I/O Crontroller when I run lspci
