7i96 Configuration Tool

tecno wrote: Does this configuration tool be setup to work with RPi4?

I've not tried running the configuration tool on the RPi4 but it should just work as they are both debian. I may try today as I got the RPi4 going with preemt rt and LinuxCNC and was working out the details for setting up a static IP needed for the Mesa Ethernet cards.

Looking forward to your test, I am not quite yet there as I am awaiting for the 7i96 to arrive.

Cheers

ps I have Hakan's RPi4 on a long loan to evaluate if I can get my PlasmaC to run in my rig.

I see the .xsessionrc file in the home dir /home/ and it opens showing the file :-

if [ -d $HOME/.local/bin ]; then
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
fi

is this correct if so how do I start the configuration

If you mean start a configuration created by the configuration tool, you start LinuxCNC and pick it from the list My Configurations.

No. How do I start the config tool? I am running 2.9

After fixing the path and logging out and back in or rebooting then from then on you just open a terminal and type in
With all the different OS's I never did get around to making a desktop file for it.

I have tried putting 7i96 in a terminal and it reports back bash:7i96: command not found

How can I check if the path is correct

Open a terminal where the tool is located and try :
./7i96
Or
Python 7i96

Thanks. I have tried all those in the home dir and the /home/cnc dir

I will reload linuxcnc tomorrow and start afresh

Umm a reload is not needed...

Can you see the 7i96 file with ls? if not, ./7i96 will not work as that means execute the 7i96 file in the current directory
