Will either of these work?

So here are some pics of my test machine . I have some Mesa cards coming for it (6i25 & 7i76). The latency test was an early one . I have since pushed it much harder. I hope to run the new test script to see how it does.

That looks promising, and most probably will work with Mesa.

I did some stress testing simultaneously running 3 glxgears programs a video and randomly transferring files from a usb to the SSD and back again and got a max Jitter Base thread of 20939 and Servo thread of 18469....

I might get hands on a similar system. Would you mind running the test here and post the results here ?

seuchato I tried running the script on my computer ( Linuxcnc Debian wheezy 2.7.14) and coudn't get it to run. Deffinetly got to be my lack of expertise. So I think I did the next best thing I ran 5 of the glxgears programs, ran the histogram, occasionaly moving and resizing files and ran a playlist from my YouTube channel . I am not going to post it in the other section because I haven't gotten it to work for me yet.
here are the histogram results base 31.6 servo 27.3

I had made a short video of the computer . This is before I had put the Mesa 6i25 card in place.

That will do just fine.

Could be wheezy. I will test the script on a machine with wheezy. I will put the findings in this thread and refer here.

update: long version here , short version: script is not compatible with wheezy for the time being

seuchato thanks for looking into it anyway. As Wheezy is basically end of life their probably isn't much point.

Use Mint 19.3 with Mate desktop for new-ish PC's and XFCE for older ones, it can be fully installed with LinuxCNC in about 20 minutes.

hey tommylight do you recommend Mint19.3 over Debian for general experimentation. I have an older HP laptop that has Windows Vista currently loaded ugh . I want to use it for code work only. It is also an AMD 64 bit processor. Turion . It's kinda hard to lug the PnP machine back and forth between home and were I work.
