Hello, unfortunately I don't have a contribution to your CAM system, but I do have a question about the Raspberry Pi 5 and Linux CNC On the current PC I have problems with the latency, especially in the Ethernet connection to the 7i96s. Unfortunately, this always leads to unexpected stops of the machine. The last PC was no better and I don't want to buy a third one that will cause problems. My hope is that the Raspberry Pi 5 will work easily and without problems, even if it is a bit more expensive than a second-hand PC. Replacement would also be possible at any time. Now to the question What are your experiences with the pi 5 and which version are you using? Which SD card? Any special settings? Thank you very much Greetings Erwin 

Thanks for the idea. When I ran a few simple tests with no effect. I'm not sure how to test for emi. I expect if there was some my test would have had a reaction change but nothing changed. I moved the VFD as far away as I could and added a grounded makeshift shield.

I never thought to check that. I do have a filter on the VFD power. I will move it and see if that changes the problem.

I just went ahead and ordered the 1500mx. I had to get things rolling. It's gonna be an adventure!

As I said in the top post, my fallback is to use the same yaskawa PLC I did last time as a control. Last time it was a purpose built machine, this time I would have to rewrite my code to work on a mill layout. But I still have the backup of a simple UI coded for an automation direct c-more HMI. It has data entry boxes for operators to enter numbers for triming geometry. those get stored in memory and then applied to the motion control code in the yaskawa mp2300.

I just think it would be nicer and more dynamic to have a CNC control through. Hopefully I can make some flavor of LCNC work for me.

What does this code?
