EDIT: and librecad
 

The built in Mcodes (eg M2, M3, M4, M5) are hard coded in the software, if that is what you mean.

Now I set it. Working. Thanks.

But where are the other M codes in the system? 

This is what it creates with just default metric and 7i95T
It is all OK.
When I reload it to modify things it isn't even right on the first page where XYZ has become Z

Attach your ini file to a reply and I'll check it out.

Thanks for using Mesa CT.

Edit: looks like I broke something in 2.1.4, 2.1.3 does work as expected. I'll figure out what's broke in a bit.

i would like to install another ethernet card but i want to see how this is going to be for reliability over the next few days and if i don't have any issues, i will see about getting another port in there. it seems those realtek devices are in everything. only time will tell.

to recap; i was having network issues with debian 12 and network connection issues with Kernel up to 6.3. when i installed debian "13" trixie, the system seems to be working for now. .....

Is this the right place to ask another question? If not I'm sorry.
New to LinuxCNC and after messing about with the pi interface went out and bought a 7i95T.
So I'm trying to set it up even though it's still in the post. Default Metric, 7i95T XYZ and I get a set of good defaults. I can go through and add all my numbers or not and it builds.
However when I reopen that ini file my XYZ is gone and I just have Z and that is in as Drive 0.
I must be doing something dumb as this would have been noticed long ago.
Please tell an old man with a mill (but no python although time-served on C++) what he has missed so I can improve rather than re-enter stuff. I got MesaCT from the github page yesterday.

...and Bjarne says that it's been added. Hopefully this won't be a problem in the future.

Never had a problem, works everytime. Here's some set-up notes. 

Hello
I couldn't really continue with setting LinuxCNC up. But I want to probably use a touchscreen to interface with the machine. What size is recommended. The Machine should be a CNC-Lathe in the end. Do you have some recommendations? Also maybe not topic related, but I was wondering if you can set up remora so you can drive the spindle with step/dir?

@NTULINUX. Note that I am not stranded in any way. I have a fully functional and production-ready RTAI kit (5.4.258, lcnc 2.9.2). Couldn't be happier about it and so kudos to the work that went into this!

You know what we're missing though? A tutorial on "How to compile a RTAI Kernel, module and Lcnc". Just so that workload could be offloaded off you, Bari, Andi, and friends. Personally I'd be willing to give that a trial with e.g. the newly released 2.9.3 or perhaps even 2.10.xxx as tests.

Prolly beyond most-of-us skills though, let us know what you think about this idea.

actually, this works in axis. its just qtdragon im having trouble with. thank you for all the help. as long as i have a working system, i can figure it out from here. thanks again.

Hi NTULINUX. I have no doubt in that statement, doubting my knowledge/skillset is in upgrading linux systems rather. Mind you I was able to use the 5.4.279 release full featured. Only bug was a new timeout error on starting, and ofc not being able to restart lcnc if closed - a full system reboot was required. 

To begin with I have no idea how to clean a previous RTAI installation (if required?), or whether it's okay to simply "upgrade over" which is what I've done.

Additionally (less inspiring!). I've completed a clean Debian 12 install on my newly acquired Dell Optiplex. All updated, all drivers functional, no errors, everything's happy. Then proceeded to installing the RTAI 5.4.279 debs (module, headers, image, then lcnc), to have nothing showing up when starting linuxcnc. It reports that module is not loaded, although re-installed the deb twice now

Not entirely sure what I've done to RTAI to deserve all that, we used to be good friends!!

Have you set the files permission to 'Allow executing file as program'?
