Hi. How to change code to work without index and position signal. Like Boxford type turret driven on stepper motor. New in LinuxCNC.

Seems like wiring/EMI issue.
How is the Mesa board powered ?

No it’s not a SPI to Ethernet converter.
It’s a chip that has an SPI interface and implements a, for lack of a better description, a network stack.
A micro controller connected to it still has to setup network related things, monitor it for received data and other such tasks.
So no it does nothing to increase the distance between SPI devices.
I suggest you go to the wiznet site and learn what that device actually does. From memory they use the 5500 device.

Hello tommylight,

That Google excerpt could be way off. I don't know. The only way to know what the current state of (LinuxCNC/Pi 5) is to poll it users and those attempting to use it. As you say they may have a working system and be doing something else.

Your comment about "Set it once and never again" is true for a lot of software until you change something (like a controller or the software itself).

I know newbies don't read things. For me "usability" includes reducing the need to read stuff as much as possible.

A issue list/process has several attributes besides being a pain in the neck. One is to track issues that surface and ensure that the issue is fixed and available for download. Another is for the developers to assess how to improve the user's encounter with the hardware and software itself.

I offered to help. If there is no issue list (for PI 5 for now) maybe I could help to create one. It would help centralize some aspects of the development work. Also, people age out. It may allow the current crop of wizards help the next generation of users.

Thanks,
Tom

Agree with Tommy.
Users skipping steps.
Users not typing in commands properly.
Users not relaying requested information.
Users blaming Linuxcnc when it’s a mechanical issue.
Users blaming Linuxcnc when it’s an electrical issue.
Users not bothering to look at the docs.
Cases of users editing config files with a word processor program.
Users not understanding the prepared Linuxcnc images are not meant to be a general purpose OS.
Users believing the fear mongers who will say you need to be a programmer.
Users thinking they are the first and only ones to have a particular issue.
Users who don’t know how to form a proper question.
The effing “Maker Community” that tells poor saps that a CNC machine is easy to use by anyone.
People that wear gloves near rotating machinery.
People that insist on soldering crimped connectors.
Ah fuck it just people in general.
