Debian Trixie is released Yeay!!

It contains Linuxcnc 2.9.4 Wow! 
To upgrade from Bookworm, very rough instructions

sudo apt update
edit /etc/apt/sources.list and replace any instance of bookworm with trixie
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade.
Check you are booting in to the new 6.12 Real time kernel
run sudo grub-customizer to set this.
Reboot into the 6.1.2 RT kernel

I removed my version of linuxcnc
sudo apt remove linuxcnc-uspace linuxcnc-uspace-dev

If it is a new install, download debian from Debian.org Trixie is their  current release and install with balena etcher

Check you are running Trixie: lsb_release -a
Check you are runing the prempt_rt kernel 6.12: uname -v (the RT kernel got installed for me)
Linuxcnc should install the RT kernel but I have not checked that.

Install linuxcnc. Seems one dependency did not play well

sudo apt install libqt5webengine5
sudo apt install linuxcnc-uspace linuxcnc-uspace-dev

enjoy Thats It. If you are running ethercat, I think the packages need to be removed and reinstalled as the config ssemed to be missing config files in 6.12

PS I am using the Cinamon Desktop, Latency seems good even without isolating any cores
Seems that I can run the RT kernel without this desktop hanging which is good! I'll see how it goes.
 
Have fun

Bumping this, I seem to be having the same problem.  
My tool change routine is here:
github.com/Funkenjaeger/fj-lcnc-cfg/blob...files/toolchange.ngc 
(and the rest of my config is in the same repo)

My tool changes sometimes work when I do them manually, but seem to halt when they're part of an actual program involving tool changes.  Specifically, when running a real program, the GUI indicates that it stopped at line 63, which is the last line before the first G1 command.  That checks out, because physically the machine moves to the right Z height for tool change (in accordance with line 63) but then never slots the tool into the pocket (as commanded in line 64)

Most of these little ones are linux. They are "ok", but most are pretty limited in features and performance.

I have a DDCSV3.1 and its cool to have an all in one single box, but it doesn't come close to linuxcnc. Contouring motion is very poor and its limited to 250khz pulse rates.

Thank you very much for your effort
I will try to test the revised version in my simulation.
I will report at the latest when I am back at the machine, or when I am back from vacation.
Thanks again for your work.
Greetings Michael

To use index, you would need to uncomment these and similar lines

#net x-index-enable joint.0.index-enable <=> hm2_7i92.0.encoder.00.index-enable

and change:

HOME_USE_INDEX NO
to
HOME_USE_INDEX YES

And know where the physical index mark is on your scale as Asymmetrisch mentioned.

Wenn die init-LED (CR6 bei einem 7I96S) aufleuchtet, bedeutet dies, dass ein Fehler aufgetreten ist.

Der wahrscheinlichste Fehler ist ein Watchdog-Biss aufgrund von Latenzproblemen.

Welche Meldungen werden gedruckt, wenn Sie LinuxCNC über die Befehlszeile starten?

The world is so beautiful because of the good people and those we can love.
Master Hakan, thank you so, so much!

Agree, most are running a proprietary embedded system, but this one is an ARM-based Linux system with 3d gpu. I wonder if it's a port of LinuxCNC and or we can mod it

 

5I25/6I25 config for 7I85 on P3 (ext DB25), 7I74 on P2 (internal header)

Only 3 sserial channels on the 7I85 (port 0) because of space considerations
All 8 sserial channels on port 1 (7I74)

I would not bother with it, especially after i have removed several and replaced with a normal PC and LinuxCNC.

I came across this Linux based all in one cnc controller, and it's cheap. I wonder what's under the hood software wise,  anyone seen it yet ?

If G43 is active, G0G53Z0 , the dro shows toollength. If cancel tool G49, same position is Z0

Prepare for epic happiness.
It's a plasma system so many things are not needed/wanted in for example a milling machine.
The E7000 is my own ethercat torch height/io board, I'm rather confident you don't have that one. 

 
 

IN MDI I CAN PUT GOG53X0Y0  AND IT GOES TO MACHINE REF. FOR THESE AXES . BUT GOG53ZO WILL NOT RETURN TO Z REF. POSITION. CHANGES EVERYTIME I DRY RUN A PROGRAM. BUT WHEN I HIT THE REF. BUTTON, IT WILL GO TO Z REF.  CONFUSSED, PLEASE HELP.

I have not gotten the tormach V2.12 version of linuxcnc to compile.

Seems to be the consensus.

I have one Tormachs earlier versions (V2.10) to compile on Debian Stretch.

Do you have steps to make this work that you are willing to share?

Do you think this would compile on Bookworm?

I have v2.9 of Linuxcnc compiled and running on Debian Bookworm.

Do you have steps to make this work that you are willing to share?

3.This version also does not differentiate between Joints and axes as Tormach has forked linuxcnc before the joints-axis patches were finalized.

Yea, that seems to be a lot of the complication with incorporating their 9 axis look ahead into our code base.

I am looking to first make a guide of sorts of re-producible steps to compile 2.10 (and 2.9 if they are vastly different, and then I would like to look at what is missing/divergent to get 2.12 to compile. From there, I would like to ask Tormach for the missing pieces (if any) and go from there.
