I think you need a preferences file to pin the linuxcnc repo files in /etc/apt/preferences.d that looks something like
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc-live-build/...c-uspace.pref.chroot

First of all, thanks a lot for all the work you put into this project, it’s clearly helping a lot of users, especially when it comes to building and customizing configurations.

I’m currently using a Mesa 7i92m. While the standard firmware works fine, making configuration changes on it can be quite cumbersome. It looks like RIO could make things a lot easier.

Could you maybe share some guidelines or pointers on how to get it working on this board, or how to port it?

Yes, some said that latency spikes from the NIC housekeeping etc could interfere with the RT task.

If i remember right this has to do with age verification and other new laws passed in the usa.
I am always logged in by default on my pc and phone, but my table has no account and does not cause any issues (actually its got less ads!)

But also as above, how would you expect to have a channel without logging in? Weird reference to make.

I have looked on availbale logic and its signals.
So could it work if firmware is made from regular configuration for a test to have one quadrature encoder and one uart, and I could tight pins together outside of fpga.
Think that only A line is used for uart.
So both components will recieve uart data and then after uart is recieved I could just flush/reset/set to zero quadrature encoder pulse accumulator and continue from this state.
Would this work?

I'm lost about your expectations. You have to log in  as a YouTube  user to post a video to your channel and you have to log in to post comments on my videos so what's wrong with being logged in to view stuff? At least YouTube can recommend videos to you...

Still poking cause this is bugging me. Instead of telling chatgpt to make me code, instead I asked it why it's broken.

What it tells me is that motion.spindle basically doesn't work with modbus directly and pins wont be created and there's no simple automagic way to have m commands work out of the box.

It says this is a limitation of axis (what I have it running while I'm testing) and QT dragon doesn't have this limitation.

Before I follow it down another hole, does this sound like its correct? I want qtdragon anyway, it just was not installed because I did this all from scratch.

addendum
After some looking into it seems the culprit was not with YouTube it self but something else ISP, ect,ect. exact
issue still unknown. so I will leave my channel in place for now. 

 

Very difficult to say, you give me no clues.
You have to show the error messages from linuxcnc startup, that is the biggest help.
I kind of think you have not installed the component?
"sudo halcompile --install cia402pv.comp"
should put the component in the right place.
Anyway, I have to see the errors you get. A general description is not enough.

.Hal file I am using 

Hi Hakan thanks for your help  to configure the drive. 
Unfortunately I am having no luck in getting it to work. 
I have attached my files below do you mind having a look to see if there is anything obvious I am missing?  
I am very new to linux so am struggling to work out when using the loadrt command in the .hal file  where the other  file is loading from? 

Thanks Will 


 

just for kicks, chat gpt has sent me down several roads that i know are wrong.

1st it tried to use motion component, but it has no spindle pins defined.(i expect these need to be set up in the main ini or hal but it couldnt tell me

so this in said i could use the spindle components... and then realised its read only.

then it took to just fabricating pins and functions that dont exist.

sigh. and this is what we have trying to run out law enforcement cameras? mmmmm good times.

Wouldn't surprise me if /etc/ethercat.conf got overwritten. Anyway, check syslog.

I guess onceloved has a solution and you don't need to disable eoe in the master after that.

On a more general note it seems EoE and linuxcnc will not work together.
EoE as such may work, if that helps with configuration of a drive for example.
