Behai,

Much appreciated, you've been a great help,

Once again thanks.....oh if there's anything you feel that maybe missing in the thread I mentioned feel free to add to it. It'd be great if, as a community, we could try and assemble a lot of info in the one place.

Cheers
Rob
 

Hi Rob,

Thank you to you, too. Without your help, I would not be able to get through this so quicky. I apologise for my late reply. I got caught up in some Fusion 360 stuff

I think this is what you meant: forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...-4-5?start=10#320959 ?

Thank you and best regards, Rob.

...behai.



 

Hi,

Thank you for the thread. It is very informative.

In regard to the image linuxcnc.org/iso/rpi-4-debian-bookworm-6...25-01-27-0404.img.xz
and locale, I have been able to verify that locale en US.UTF-8 works for PNCConf.

And after using menu-config to set the locale, I had to restart the machine for it takes effect.

After machine restarted, we should verify the locale. On a terminal window type locale the output should match.

-- I did try to set the locale to en AU.UTF-8 and it did not work.

Thank you and best regards,

...behai.

 

(Sorry for double posting. Cant edit last post, can only see the block quote when i try to edit)

I found a solution for my missing WiFi connections.
Second method mentioned in the top reply. (first method didn't work for me)
askubuntu.com/questions/71159/network-ma...s-device-not-managed

***
.....
Then open the file:
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
Delete everything in that file and copy and paste the following:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

Save, stop and start network manager:

sudo service network-manager restart
***
I had to reboot my whole system but after that WiFi works like expected.

Try running update upgrade again, if errors are encountered, run the following

sudo apt --fix-broken install

To set up my computer, I followed Dr. Dflo.
www.drdflo.com/pages/Projects/CNC-Mill.html#linuxcnc
Click on linuxcnc from the left menu.The last line of the paragraph has a specific link for setting up for Probe Basic, so that is what I have been following.

He lists this link: kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/quick_start.html

From here, I downloaded the Debian 12 bookworm image (on my win 11 computer) and followed the instructions to make a bootable usb drive. I probably used the link to make the image but am not 100% sure......it was a simple utility like what is listed.

I ran that usb drive on my new computer for this mill: Intel NUC mini desktop Core i5-9300H, 8GB ram, 256 GB SSD. It removed windows and only Debian is installed.

It appears it was Debian 12.2.0, as you can see from the first commands I typed into the terminal (text file below).

I just updated Debian by using sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade from the terminal.

It gave me an error on lines 705 and 722:

Let's see if I attached the file correctly.....
 


What does this error mean and how do I address it?

I have not yet restarted the computer, but ran the command to check the debian version and it is still 12.2.0. I will do a restart and check again.



 

I can at least confirm a pi 5 that is able to find WiFi networks. In my case nmtui did work I chose something I remember was called ‘activate network’ and it would show a bunch (and prompt for password).

With kind regards,
Jairo 

edit: this is on the latest linuxcnc image 2.9.4 by rodw 

Thanks for the reply jairobbo!
That is really weird. I did exactly that but my list appear empty. Fresh install 2.9.4 and thensudo apt install network-manager
Did you use the 2.9.4 from downloads page, I think thats rodw's, right? Version of Rpi5? (I have the 4GB)

I also tried sudo apt install network-manager-gnomeAnd when I pop down the little menu there is a grayed out text "device not managed" and under that is only VPN connections. Any idea what might be off on my system?

I am new to LinuxCNC. I just performed a fresh installation using (rpi-4-debian-bookworm-6.12.11-arm64-ext4-2025-01-27-0404.img) with the Remora component. Can someone guide me step by step on how to set it up with a BTT SKR PRO V1.2?


Thanks,

If by daughtercard you mean the 7I84U, any firmware with a sserial port will do.

(basically and 7I96S firmware that does not use the serial expansion for modbus etc)

Yep, the 7I84U would be the daughtercard to the 7I96s. 
OK, I will try making it work with the FW you linked above.
As an aside, I have it downloaded already but have a bit of an issue making it show up in MesaCT even though I think it's in the right folder, but that's probably just me still overseeing something - will read some more posts and/or try mesaflash in the terminal. 

I'm new here and have same servo so decide to try your setup files. I was not able to achieve success with your files like MWalz did.
Maybe you can help me? Here is my output:
