NativeCam raspberry Pi 4

That's not working, and hasn't for a week or more.

And I wasn't aware you were being charged by the byte, that majorly sucks.

You should not worry now because a new version is not due for a month or two, maybe more. I am working on major changes making it much simpler to use while adding many options and much improved gcode files. But still much testing and fixing to do.

The situation only affects new install. If you have version 0.1.14b no need to update now.

IDK what I've got, its a bit much to put in the ini file when its running on a pi3b.

As I am used to writing my own gcode, its not a huge loss, but I'll continue to monitor it as I have another card that s/b able to replace the pi, with a 25% faster, full 64 bit 4 core cpu, and 4x the memory.

Thanks Fern.

Hi Fern (and others),

I have been using LinuxCNC for a few years now on a benchtop mill, which was successfully running Debian Wheezy and NativeCAM. Recently I replaced my PC and upgraded the mill to a bigger unit. Unfortunately the new PC will not run Debian Wheezy without introducing significant latency problems (+500k spikes observed), despite all the usual fixes outlined in the latency FAQs. However, Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 works perfectly well and I have been running the latest version of LinuxCNC 2.7.12 without issue.

I wanted to re-install NativeCAM on the new PC, but having been forced to run Ubuntu 10.04 has meant that NativeCAM now no longer installs from the deb package. The error given during install is that Python => 2.7 is required. Ubuntu 10.04 appears to only come pre-packaged with 2.6.5 (as listed in Synaptic Package Manager). I have managed to install Python 2.7.2 as per instructions outlined here , and can confirm that if I enter 'python --version' in the console Linux returns version 2.7.2 as running. However NativeCAM still refuses to install and still requests a Python version >= 2.7.

Is there a way to 'convince' NativeCAM that Python 2.7.2 is installed on my system? Or are there further steps I need to undertake to get Python to be fully recognised by my system as being a newer version than 2.6.5?

Hi,

I am affraid I can not be of much help in your case but many are using lcnc and ncam with Lucid. If someone knows how to make it work, please help

Thanks Fern,

If anyone else knows of a way around installing NativeCAM on Lucid, I'd appreciate some guidance.

Andrew.
