Hi Shemj
I am currently having the same issue as you when I press ref (X/Y/Z) in probe basic the machine moves to its 0 position on that axis uncontrollability ignoring the maximum velocity.

Please let me know if you have found a way to home to machine and retain the encoder values when the machine is powered off ?
cheers will

That should not be a distro issue, but a config issue, so do start a new topic and upload both configs so we can have a look.

That is quite a habit to have, so use it as much as possible.

Saw that, but was too lazy to setup the spare RPi. In fact that was what led me to pi-gen. Tho I haven't completely ruled it out.
Tho I do seem to like with pi-gen you can stop the process at certain stages.
Luckily or maybe not so I'm in a position where time is something I have plenty of. Also a couple of PC's I can use to build different configs. Sadly only one spare RPi400 and one spare RPi5, with the RPi5 being part of a very generous gift on Father's Day from my son.

first of all, thanks for the kind(-ish, lol) words, I'm happy to be helpful to the community even if it is just planting ideas into smart people's minds

have you seen github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-image-gen? to me it looks like a better fit for the purpose - all we need is to install some packages and configure some things, right? building the entire distro from scratch seems excessive.

The buildbot doesn't seem to be working properly at the moment.

I have build a test .deb manually instead.

You should be able to download the file and install with
Note that this will overwrite your current linuxcnc installation (or will install linuxcnc if it is not installed on the machine). It will not alter the Linux OS and your current machine configurations should be unaffected.

Hi,
i wrote a hal component in python to control some I2C devices

*  pcf8574 : Digital IO's
#  ads1115 : Analog input
#  lm75  : temperature sensor
#  hd44780 : LCD display

It is actually part of the RIO project, but can also run independently.
Maybe someone can use it.
It's also no problem to install additional devices. Just let me know what you need; I have almost everything here


Cheers Olli
