Thanks for the info. What you have listed I have done many times before. Here are some of the other issues Wireless drivers, you have to know a bit about Linux to find and install them. LinuxCNC put files all over the place. I've yet to find any logic in the way it works. Creating disk partitions is somewhat confusing. Funny enough, connection to a windows network is easy. However, one time I had a Linux Guru work on my dual boot for 3 hours trying to get Linux to see the windows drives. So I have to mount them first !!!! Windows users have no idea about mounting, or samba etc etc
But most of all I could not get the PID control, my servo drives and motors to respond correctly. On the setup, some things are not explained in sufficient detail to make a valid choice and others don't work. Linux CNC is like learing another language and it takes time. The G-Code is the easy part. Needless to say I will be trying again as I think it is better than Mach3 and I want to add some ladder logic for tool changers etc. My description of a Mach 3 interface is, it was created by someone high on LSD. I tried to create my own screens with their utility, but, it too had issues. This time around I document my issues and hopefully they can be added to the current install instructions.
