[Forum/internet is being really unresponsive, bear with me]

Thanks gents for having a look.  Here's the terminal outputs:

You need to use sudo for systemctl and journalctl. Can you redo and share?
Warning: Spoiler!


Is your /etc/ethercat.conf properly set?
Yes.  Added MAC addr for enp2s0 and "generic"

check the output of these command
Code:
mill@debian:~$ sudo dkms status | grep -i ethercat [sudo] password for mill:  ethercat/1.6.9: added mill@debian:~$ uname -r 6.12.86+deb13-rt-amd64 mill@debian:~$ lsmod | grep ec_ typec_ucsi             69632  1 ucsi_acpi typec                 114688  1 typec_ucsi roles                  16384  1 typec_ucsi usb_common             16384  3 xhci_hcd,usbcore,typec_ucsi mill@debian:~$ sudo modprobe ec_master modprobe: FATAL: Module ec_master not found in directory /lib/modules/6.12.86+deb13-rt-amd64

So it looks like something didn't get installed properly despite just pasting the linuxcnc-ethercat apt stuff from GH instructions.

Does the error trigger on pierce?

I am pretty sure i have used bigger than 20MB files, probably 55MB, but a bit fuzzy on that.
dmap2gcode that i use for engraving/scratching and laser, makes huge files.

Sorry for the rambling post.Since I ended up with a huge NC file when I was CAM-processing a project, I got curious—how big do NC files have to be to be considered “big” for you guys?

Das klingt doch für den ersten Schuss schonmal gut!

Das Handrad ist über den LPT-Port für den Drehencoder, und über USB als "Tastatur" verbunden.
Hat mir da vielleicht jemand einen Link auf die Doku?
Ich würde gerne QT-Dragon ( also nicht axis ) als Oberfläche verwenden, aber das sollte da ja auch klappen.

Gruß, Thomas

Code:

Wenn sich dein Handrad als Tastatur einbinden lässt, sollte es über die Bearbeitung von axis.py möglich sein.

Wechsel Mach3 auf Linux CNC bestehendes Handrad weiterverwendbar was created by muddiver
Hallo zusammen!!

ich wollte mich erstmal kurz vorstellen, ich heiße Thomas, kratze am 50er und hab damals 2006-2008 eine Wabeco F1210 auf CNC umgebaut. Von damals steht noch ein alter Pentium 4 mit Win XP und Mach3 als Steuerungsrechner rum.
Dass ich den USB-Smoothstepper nicht übernehmen kann ist mir bewußt, aber mein geliebtes Handrad von Einfach-CNC würde ich sehr gerne mitnehmen.
Ich hab mal ein Bild angehängt das zeigt um welches Handrad es geht.
Ich hab in der Doku auch gefunden welche Scancodes / Tastaturbefehle gesendet werden, und auf meinem Mintrechner mit "showkey -a" auch rausgefunden dass es soweit anzukommen scheint.Nun meine Frage an die Spezialisten, meint ihr ich kann das Kandrad in der HAL-Datei mit eurer Hilfe soweit einfügen dass es wieder funktioniert? 

Danke euch schonmal, Gruß, Thomas

from what I understand, that would likely run but the screen preview might have a big spasm!

I've never seen the sysv error before. 
Odd others have got the new method working already.

Replied by rodw on topic New builder hardware suggestions

Wow that just got expensive. This is a portable table, the cut dimensions are adjustable at the design stage and I am probably going to make mine 1000x800. The designer suggested a Nema 23 stepper kit with DM542 drivers and a Mach 3 controller from Aliexpress at about $235. I was hoping to use something like this probably with just a different break out board. Is this not possible? This is for hobby use and I am in QLD Australia if that makes any difference. This is also my first build, hopefully learn something and able to modify or make a MK2 at some stage.
I'm also  in Queensland also (Brisbane). You can find my email address on my @MrRodW YouTube channel. You can use a parallel port breakout board.I bought 2 off Amazon for $20. I might have a THCAD which you can use with the encoder component to read torch voltage for THC. If you went with Mach3, you'd probably need to get a Proma THC or similar so it will get expensive quick too. The DM542's should be fine. Very hard to kill. Geckos are way overrated.

At a guess, something has changed slightly with a home switch and its left triggered. Try editing your HOME_OFFSET on joint 1 in your ini  file and make it a bit bigger, maybe by 0.5 to 1.0 mm. This should move the sensor away a bit  more after homing. Ohh and check for anything loose.

Hello, good afternoon. Could someone help me load the .bin firmware onto the EC500 RT1052? I've tried several programs and commands, but without success. I have the Chinese Stlink V2 and a Raspberry Pi Pico.
 
The EC500 does not like programming and I have bricked two controllers some time ago.
Fortunatelly this is possibility to bring it back to life. 
I have developed the following procedure:
1. Disconnect the controller from the power supply.
2. Disconnect the programmer.
3. Short by jumper the BOOT_M0 pin with 3V3 (programming connector).
4. Turn on the 24V power supply and do not turn it off until the end.
5. Remove the jumper.
6 Connect the programmer (I use ST-Link, but others also work).
7. Run the script below:
Code:
#!/bin/bash pyocd reset --target mimxrt1050_quadspi pyocd erase --chip --target mimxrt1050_quadspi pyocd reset --target mimxrt1050_quadspi pyocd flash remora-rt1052-3.1.3.bin --target mimxrt1050_quadspi pyocd reset --target mimxrt1050_quadspi
8. If it doesn't work, keep trying until you succeed.

In EC500 controller I have burned one output (XD+ or XD-) and can not drive one axis motor.
Which IC must I replace?
