For installing Klipper use KIAUH, it simplifies everything to some keypresses and it is a bit faster than the normal copy/paste throughout several internet pages of howtos.
It works on Linux Mint and POP OS, not just RPI as most info points out to, so should also work on Debian.
Klipper is the de facto 3D printer software as it has everything needed and is constantly being developed and updated.
There are several pieces to Klipper:
-klipper running on the ST board/micro controller
-klipper running on host PC or RPI
-moonraker - the part that links Klipper to the outside world, like Mainsail or Fluid and Telegram Bot and stuff
-Mainsail or Fluid, both are frond ends or user interfaces, web based
-Klipper Screen does exactly that, shows info on screen and can be controlled from the encoder/buttons/touchscreens

Added some more info to the above post about Marlin

Könnten Sie die Datei posten, die durch die Schaltfläche „BACKUP CONFIG“ auf der Registerkarte „SETTINGS“ erstellt wurde?

Könnten Sie auch versuchen, eine der QtVCP-Sim-Konfigurationen auszuführen, um zu sehen, ob es sich um ein allgemeines Problem bei Qt handelt.
 
 

Not sure why you would connect the step/dir grounds together
as they are already connected together on the 7I96S.

If you are using differential drive (It appears that you are)
you don't need to connect to the step/dir ground pins at all.

Also the input common (If grounded) would typically be connected to
the switch supply ground

The switch supply is often 12v/24V as this better for proximity switches
or mechanical switches than 5V


As far as EStop goes, removing primary (AC) power from the step motor
supply and spindle supply would be a reasonable  scheme.

Hey, so I was looking through the manual to the 7i96s and can’t find if there’s a way to ground all the step/dir headers ports in series without building a cable harness to do it.  I’ve connected all the step/dir ground pins to the TB3 pin-12 INPUT COMMON.  Is there an easer way to do this?  Maybe there’s a jumper I don’t know of that would activate the same circuit as the cable I built? 

It would be nice if such a cable was included or there be a jumper option on the board with the 7i96s.  Maybe for the next model at least would be a good idea. 

Then another question?  Instead of killing power to all my drives with the estop should I just instead kill the ground to all the step/dir headers so they stop sending movement signals?  Someone earlier said its just best to kill all the drives altogether incase a drive is malfunctioning whereas if you kill just the signal there’s still a chance that hitting the estop isn’t going to stop the malfunctioning drive. Anyways what’s everyone else doing with there 7i96s’s and grounding the step/dir headers?  Thats the main question.  Thanks

 

Well I have probe basic installed and showing up on my desktop screen but when I try to open it I get this error message. 
Unfortunately I don't know how to copy the error message and put it on here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

All great information. Thank you. I didn't know it was heavily resource hungry  I had heard that the Klipper software was more
problematic to set up but it seems to be made out to be the Ultimate 3D printer software. Maybe by De-Facto? I will say I have
seen the Marlin stuff used as a standalone 3 axis router / mill software among other things . It is limited but sometimes simple
is best. What is your general recommendations for your Voron's and other 3D printers?

modinfo just checks against the kernel version, the rtai-modules package do not match the kernel image package so the linuxcnc debs are inherently broken too.

I run modinfo on the linuxcnc modules and it reported the modules matched the kernel. Is this naive of me expecting this to be correct ?
Output of the command is on the first page of this thread.

There’s no rt serial port driver, Andy mentioned this a week or 2 ago. I think he may of mentioned it could be a good idea, but of course it would have to be a hardware port not a USB one.

ScotA has done a lot of testing but no idea of the current state, he's not much here lately.
I have built over 10 Vorons by now, i have 5 Voron 2.4R2, 3 of those use linear rods on Y and Z instead of linear rails, so i can provide ready made stl's for 8, 10 and 12mm rods, if i can find them.
As for Marlin vs Klipper vs LinuxCNC:
The good:
LinuxCNC = reliability, flexibility, use as you like/need/want
Marlin = runs on arduino Mega, can resume after power failure, quite reliable, SD card support, easy to use
Klipper = tailored for 3D printers, Telegram for monitoring
The bad:
LinuxCNC = no pressure advance
Marlin = very limited user control, any mistake=restart print, not easy to set up for new users, any configuration change requires flashing the controller
Klipper = very limited user control despite many adjustments, very high overhead/bloated, knows to mess up on it's own, not easy to set up for new users, very hard to set up and test and verify a DIY 3d printer for new users

Honestly you’ll probably see more USB flash failures than SSD failures.

Random boot failures would point to a hardware issue, check your cables. Or try a different sata port. And stay away from $5 chinesium SSDs.



One thing you can do is mount via fstab a USB flash drive as your home directory on a normal install.
Or just keep a backup of your home directory.

Quite a while back this was very easy, now i have no idea as i have no need for it anymore, but important search terms for google should be

Mind the date of the results, the old ones will most probably not work.

That is very true.

  So I have been 3D printing off and on some last year and a ton this year . Where I work we have a Bambu Carbon X-1
(soon to be two)  and a Prusa Mini, and of course now I am playing around with my foam cutter, soon to be running under
Marlin control  instead of just GRBL. I am considering in the near future building my own 3D printer i.e. a Voron not sure
of model yet. I have some questions though,  most use Klipper as the control software.
Has anyone done a straight up LinuxCNC version?
If so how did it compare to Klipper or Marlin?
Anything to be aware of other then a long list of extra coding for temp. control and the like?
