This is my 20000'th post, for what started as a way to force myself writing as i really hated it!
I like to read, a lot.
Thanks to all, especially Andy, JT, Todd, Chris M, PCW, etc for putting up with me, and the never ending support and wisdom they selflessly dispense on this forum.

Thank you.

Do you get latency warnings when running LinuxCNC?
Does the connection to Mesa board get dropped?
Latency does not look good, see if it can be improved by using isolcpus, but first enter the BIOS and disable anything with power saving and hyperthreading and TPM.

Yeah, attention span has gone to hell in a hand basket with the advent of Instagrams and TikToks and the likes.
And youtube just had to jump into that bandwagon ! Now i am "forced" to post shorts that i really hate...

I seem to have forgotten to subscribe to this topic, so I've missed the replies until today. Sorry about that.

@Aciera -- not sure I understand the bit about "...not sure if it's really worth the effort as there are other keys that can occur multiple times (eg 'REMAP' or 'HALFILE')". How does that effect whether MDI_COMMANDS can be referenced explicitly?

@cmorley -- I'm surprised that this can be done on a UI-by-UI basis. But there's an awful lot I don't understand about the underpinnings of LinuxCNC.

Rod, drives should be mounted vertically, as noted in their manuals.

Hola Tommy!! Gracias por tu respuesta... En una de mis maquinas lo he podido solucionar con esta guía:

gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/debian-12-eth.html

Ahora funciona perfecto!!!

Pero para otra de mis maquinas no funciono. Te envío lo que me pides de la pc que no funciono. 

Muchas gracias!!

cofhal - I will look at your files now, I did have another idea as well - could i simply use two stepgens? one for step.dir for spindle and another one for the "C" axis? and have a mesa output pin switch a dpdr relay to simply alter where the same motor gets the input?
 

You don't need two stepgens. Typically the way this is done is that a single stepgen is used (in velocity mode)
and the velocity command comes from the commanded spindle speed in spindle mode  and the position control PID
loop output in C Axis mode. The trick is returning to C axis mode after being in spindle mode with the spindle in
an arbitrary position.

I have a servo driver just like yours, and it does have an encoder feedback output, but some manuals don't document it. The encoder has a 2500-pulse output. To use it and make it work, the relationship between the servo and the spindle must be 1:1 for the index to work.

I vote....

What was the question, this internet thing has made my dumberness worser.
