That's cool. I had tried both Gemini and Copilot, and I didn't get anything close to as useful as that. Thank you again.

I'd like to eliminate my dependence on the "mill PC", which is still running Wheezy and some ancient LinuxCNC release.  So I'm considering a 7i96, so I can do things across the network.  But to be sure I'm not blind-sided by some bad assumption, a couple of questions:

I have custom code in the servo-thread currently.  (My X/Y axes aren't square, and the code corrects for that.)  Will this continue working, i.e., does that part of motion control remain in linuxcnc, and not in the 7i96?

Will I still need a real-time kernel?  Can I run linuxcnc from...  anything?  My laptop?

Will things like surface probing, and probed touch-off, still work, assuming the right configuration of a couple of the 7i96 inputs?

Anything else I should know about this transition?

e.g. touch tft or "waiting" for a analog value.
