Hello 

Can someone give me a quick run down of the INI and HAL files.  I successfully got an axis on my Fadal mill moving today with mesa 7i96s and DMM Dyn4 servos using axis. I used PNCCONF and it still wouldn't work, then I realised the files needed to be put somewhere but for the life of me I couldn't figure out what files needed to go where. After watching a video I saw the button to "create desktop launcher to start linux with this configuration".

I would like to learn how to modify the files manually and put them where they need to go. If I were to start from scratch without PNCCONF what files need to be modified and put where?

Thanks 

@Andy,
sorry i was not aware anyone except Rod is involved into it.

Thanks everyone, I have taken rodw advice and starting out with Axis.

Forgot to say I got the error after asking for tool change in the GUI.

Not Getting errors on start up, but a pop up saying file ended with no percent sign (%) or program end (M2)      

First of all I really want to say thanks for all the work you've put into your projects, you really deserve a couple of beers, if that's your poison or a least a good coffee, damn mate whatever you like to drink. Honestly thanks.
Haven't had a chance to use it or try it out but it looks great. One of the things that has been missing for the RPi IMHO, would be great to see in the mainline Linuxcnc tree.
Would be great if you could add this to the RPi "mega thread" and I'll add a link in the index.

Now a request for an extra feature, any chance for ADC support. Would be great for things that a user wants or needs an analogue input.

Just a thought, if this still persists with the installer is there a way to check for the existence of the firmware and remove it if found during the stage when the installer on the ISO removed packages ?
I guess this would have to be a custom script, and a band aid type of fix. You know in case this beast raises its head again.

Hopefully the above explanation is clearer.

Sorry just to clarify, when running the installer from the ISO image the raspi-firmware is being installed.
Can confirm upon first login to the newly installed system tuning apt purge removes the offending files. This has been confirmed by running find to look for any files that contain the string raspi prior to running apt purge then after running apt purge.

Ok I got it , Guess I didn't pay attention just copied and paste Gmoccapy config to get it working not reading if I needed everything.

Waiting to confirm something by unknown.

Do you mean the Debian installer or LinuxCNC ISO installer?

It looks to have been recently fixed upstream.

(I am still not clear if you are blaming me, Rod or Roland Clobus)

Oh cr@p !!!
Thank you for looking into it.

Solved!

To use Single-Step, you must:
1. Press Run ("R")
2. Press Pause ("P")
3. Press Execute Next Line as required (why it's not called Step I don't know) ("T")

Quirks:
While it does single-step, it only does so for motion-related instructions; everything else gets executed and full speed. If there's a way to truly perform single-stepping, I'd like to know.
Due to the above, single-step only highlights motion-related lines, so everything else doesn't get highlighted.
