Probably a bit hotter up Rods way, but to be fair Queensland is 20 years and 1 hour behind the rest of Australia.
 

Thats a bit harsh! Nobody understands that half of Queensland already has half the state with 20 minutes daylight saving built in just by the longitude. Eventually, the rest of the world will come to realise the health benefits of normal time. I think Trumpy is on to it!

I laid out the terminal block rail, seems like everything will be fairly simple so far.

Just check the currency. My link was probably in AUD which is the pacific peso these days about 0.60 to the USD.
Dont forget it includes several equivalent modules to beckhoff. Input, Output, Encoder, MPG counter, Analog 0-10v. Beckhoff encoder and I/O was over AUD $800 in 2021

I think from memory very early in the piece, the US weights and measures or congress legislated that one inch was exactly 25.4mm
Its not really about a simple tape measure. SI units come into their own when doing any engineering calculations. eg power in HP (a page long calc) vs kW (a couple of lines). Now most engineering in the US is done in SI  I am told. I think to avoid loosing another space ship.

Yes, it will be really helpful if you can share this sample and how it's implemented step by step, even if the topic is about probe basic rack implementation it should merge on it somehow

You could also try installing Debian Trixie from the debian image now its available
raspi.debian.net/daily-images/

Note that this will not install a desktop, just a console but it will have a preempt_rt kernel available. I did do up a doc on doing this for Debian Bullseye which will basically be the same.

The name for xfce package might have changed search the debian packages for XFCE to get the right name today.

Once again thanks mate.

I'm going to play around with making an RPi5 image based on Trixie\Testing so I'll give it a whirl.

You might as well use the provided image becasue you basically end up with Trixie (with 6.1.2 kernel) and 2.9.4 already installed.
