Probably I will start with a new installation. Downloading Trixie now.
I think I will need help in "moving" the old configuration to the new one. I will post when help is required. Thank you

it is for EL6751 but it is basically the same ... check my reply maybe it will help U

Sorry for the double post, messed up the formatting of the original one with an edit.

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to set up a DELTA C2000 Plus control drive with LinuxCNC over EtherCAT for a spindle motor and I am having difficulties with the homing (what seems to be the bane of many LinuxCNC users)...

The hal-cia402 driver does not seem to work properly, as the controlword is not being passed correctly and the model does not support CSV mode, which seems to be something the cia402 driver relies on. There is a ready driver for a different, but very similar model, the DELTA MS300. The PDOs are the same, so getting it to run was as easy as changing the pid in the source and recompiling. However, this driver only supports Velocity Mode, even if it works well. Homing Mode is something I am trying to figure out how to implement myself, but sadly I am not well-versed enough to manage on my own.

Would it be a good idea to try to put the following section from the cia402 source into my driver, changing the variable names where appropriate and changing CSV Mode to Velocity Mode:
Do you think this approach is correct? Another thing I've tried is to set it to home over PLC, as the model supports that. But it does not look like it will suit our purposes, as the drive interrupts the EtherCAT connection when switching to PLC mode, which causes unexpected behavior.

I am using the CMC-EC01 extension card for the drive and the homing is intended to be handled by an Origin Switch as the encoder is incremental. I will attach the linuxcnc-ethercat driver for the MS300 for the sake convenience.

Using the EMC-PG01H card for the encoder too, but the encoder is not relevant for the homing. I think. I will tackle that once I get to the spindle orientation...

I appreciate any help and suggestions!

I assumed something was wrong . This is the model: intel 82579lm

The error I get when trying to update : forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...kworm-update-problem

key missing : A94819A7CB97A204

The last command doesn't work. It says the key is missing from the server.
when trying to update only the kernel, it does not find a new version
 

Translations work with 2.10pre0
but i had 4 crashes of linuxcnc with master version so it is not an option..
I don't know if these crashes was hardware related or not.
Generally with master version can have crashes?

I am new to linuxcnc and I cannot get my Raspberry pi running linuxcnc to connect to wifi or to my mesa 7I92TM board. I tried ip a but the mesa board is not showing have looked everywhere online and read multiple forums but can't seem to find a proper solution to my problem. Please help.

Is z encoder output signal and encoded signal to ground needed?

Another thing to think of, what happens when X11 support is dropped in favour of Wayland ?
The GUIs that rely on X11 libs.

Tho it received no interest apart from 2 forum members I managed to build a Devuan ARM image, no systemd and their CoC is fair to all, basically just don't be a dick to anyone.

Sounds about right for Bookworm.

Trixie for ARM might be an issue as libgpiod version Trixie uses will require some effort with the hal_gpio driver, maybe a rewrite.
Andy is the expert on this, pretty sure he made a note of this some time ago.
Apart from that the ARM image is fine.

Not sure, but i think RT 6.8.n was installed last i used Debian 12, so ....

I ended up buying it because it was $103 and had a SSD as well.

Update the kernel to at least 6.8.n, preferably 6.12.n.

The default kernel is whatever is in Bookworm. You need to wait for Trixie to get a later kernel (6.12 I think) The debian installer gets the kernel version from the host PC when its built.

I was looking at upgrading my J1900 brix to a brix with an i7-5775 and 16gr of ram. Is this a fool’s errand or will this help future proof my system?

Probably a bit overkill unless you have it. my 20 core i7 does not like PREEMPT_RT and hangs but its just a desktop machine so its running normal Debian. 4 cores 8gb should be enough. I had a 4 core i5 which was nice except for the Realtek NICs which are fixed with the dkms driver  I mention.
Also some of the MSI pc's the same form factor as the Brix look interesting. I have one on a packing bench but it runs Windows (becasue it is not on my desk!)

What connections does the 7i97t board need to servo motors to operate?

(as+, da+) analog command voltage,
(gnda, da ground) analog ground,
(SON) servo enable,
(rdy) servo ready,

(oa+)A+
(oa-)A-
(ob+)B+
(ob-)B-
(oz+)Z+
(oz-)Z-
