I think from memory very early in the piece, the US weights and measures or congress legislated that one inch was exactly 25.4mm
Its not really about a simple tape measure. SI units come into their own when doing any engineering calculations. eg power in HP (a page long calc) vs kW (a couple of lines). Now most engineering in the US is done in SI  I am told. I think to avoid loosing another space ship.

Yes, it will be really helpful if you can share this sample and how it's implemented step by step, even if the topic is about probe basic rack implementation it should merge on it somehow

You could also try installing Debian Trixie from the debian image now its available
raspi.debian.net/daily-images/

Note that this will not install a desktop, just a console but it will have a preempt_rt kernel available. I did do up a doc on doing this for Debian Bullseye which will basically be the same.

The name for xfce package might have changed search the debian packages for XFCE to get the right name today.

That board is rather expensive. Can get beckhoff kit for less.

I laid out the terminal block rail, seems like everything will be fairly simple so far.

Once again thanks mate.

I'm going to play around with making an RPi5 image based on Trixie\Testing so I'll give it a whirl.

You might as well use the provided image becasue you basically end up with Trixie (with 6.1.2 kernel) and 2.9.4 already installed.

I'm using the one linked in this post successfully so far.  forum.linuxcnc.org/plasmac/38438-plasmac...t-processors?start=0

I haven't tested the center-punch functionality, but did test the small hole functionality on 3/8" holes and they turned out pretty well.

A couple things I learned along the way:
  make sure merge circles if unchecked when posting
  if you have multiple setups, you have to go to the operations tab in the post window and select them all.  They aren't all selected by default.
