The standard instructions are for stable releases.    Monokrom is still in development.  To enable access to development you need to adjust the sources line in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kcjengr.list to read:deb [arch=arm64] repository.qtpyvcp.com/apt develop main

NOTE:  the arch= on your install migh be different.  Do no change that part of the entry.

Cheers.
 

I would not recommend the PI4 unless you already have it. It's a bit slow and requires
fussing to get a 1 KHz servo thread over Ethernet. The PI5 is much more capable.

 MiniPCs are normally fine though if they have RealTek Ethernet hardware you will likely
need the DKMS (manufacturers) driver as the built in kernel driver has latency issues.

A Raspberry Pi has its own I/O pins (albeit limited to 3.3V); connection via ethernet seems a bit of a waste of the Pi's functionality, at least so far as I/O is concerned.

Is the ethernet NIC in the Raspberry Pi as good as a PC motherboard's NIC?

Mini PCs can be a bit annoying to to the space constraints.

Keep in mind that while PC can run off of AC line voltage, a Pi needs a separate power supply.

If your PC power supply is good, you can siphon off power for other stuff, though there is some risk involved with doing so.

"spindle.0.on" muss auf einem pin liegen (z.b. relais), dann erscheint die auch im axis gui

Guys, I'd like to hear your opinions.

I have a 7i92H and would like to build something very compact with reasonable performance. What do you recommend using, a Raspberry Pi4, Pi5, or even a mini PC?

Im setting up my cnc which has a toolchanger but i have some weird issues that if the tool prepared and tool changed iocontrol hal pins goes high i get an error that line 0 would exeed the z axis / joint 2 limit. I have 2 machines running linuxcnc but still cannot seem to figure out the problem. Im very lost so any info would help.

this sub is just as a test.   

As far as I know , only quadratic encoders are currently supported with remora and rt1052

I'm not sure about the ec300 but the ec500 has the ability for hardware counting but you have to bypass the optocouplers as they are shite.

Yeah I could but I'd like to have a Trixe & Bookworm base image to work off. I'll get that going tomorrow (doesn't take too long) and have a look at the amd64 live-build for Trixie. Tho I'm a little desperate for disk space and had to drag a 2TB mechanical drive out of the cupboard.
This week's spending money went on RAM........so maybe in a couple of weeks I'll grab a NVMe drive.

Maybe if I stuck with Mach3 I wouldn't spend so much money, bugger I said the quiet part out load.

But that's no fun, too easy

Do give dmap2gcode a try, it is free, it is python so can be edited, but it does generate perfect gcode for my "scratcher" machines, i just modified it to output M67 values instead of Z depth:

Another tip for Inkscape to save time, lots of time, when exporting in the "path to gcode" window, click on "sort paths to reduce rapid distance", a huge time saver.

Thank you for a quick reply!

Just as a precaution is there anything special I need to take into consideration when upgrading to the development version?

Sorry for the late Answer,

yes i had this Error in Festo Automation Suite too first. I don´t really know what i´ve done that it works now.
     
i put my working config in the Attachments.

 

Thanks Andy. It was easy enough to edit the infeed angle for that one thread, and I did remember to edit it back, but having a conversational entry for this would be nice.

For what it is worth, I have been working with Inkscape and find it is excellent for creating engraving paths and generating g code. Much easier than using Freecad. However Blender still seems the best for bas reliefs and generating their g code. Freecad has is best for CAD drawings and generating milling g code. Image2gcode may be on option however I use a windows computer for developing my g code and linuxcnc strictly for operating my router.

Your seggestion of using inkscape for carvings or engraving makes life much much easier than the other routes. These softwares seem to be the big three for coverng 2D to 3D g code with free software.
Thanks again for your advise as it is saving me tons of time generating engraving paths from curved drawings or text.

Thanks again

..ich antworte mir mal selbst:

Bin nochmal aufmerksam durch beide Dateien gegangen, und habe ein paar Fehler gefunden und ausgebessert.

Jetzt fahren alle Achsen, und auch die Endschalter funktionieren.

Einzig die Spindelsteuerung fehlt in der GUI, den Sprühnebel Knopf habe ich aber mittlerweile.

 

I think 6.1.0-30-rt should probably be OK. (though I think that the packages were built on 6.1.0.10-rt )
