yes and yes but its not the same as the git-cloned copy I have from early June, it looks like its been merged with another .py file, and not a lot of that mdi related Tcl stanza still exists. > That's axis.py but it seems to lose the .py after being installed. > You will find it is identical to the (corresponding version) of > https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master/src/emc/usr_intf/axis >/scripts/axis.py I haven't tried to apply the patch to that file. I suspect I'd have to edit the patch to remove the .py's from its a & b filepaths. Is that feasable? Or is it in process and waiting for the buildbot? In which case I'll wait. Next, only mildly related subject. Because of the narrow usb2 pinhole most of the i/o data has to go thru, and this includes any mice/keyboards plugged into the usb ports on this r-pi, collisions and dropped keyboard/mouse events are a major PITA, and has broken some tooling for me because the machine didn't stop when the key was released. (it also din't move the first time the key was pressed, but that can be tolerated) So since the pine folks are claiming that bottleneck doesn't exist in the rock64, I have just now asked Bertho S. if he would be interested in making sure that rpspi.ko will run on a rock64. I'll send him one to play with, if. IMO theres more than sufficient cpu power, but memory, and oom problems are ever present as things quit working after uptimes get long, and I sometimes have to reboot it many times to get a temporarily working most of the time keyboard. FWIW, my front of the apron dials do NOT suffer from this problem because their data never goes thru the usb pinhole in the pi, they go straight in thru the gpio. And they Just Work(TM). The rock64, with 2GB of memory, is $33+ship, or with 4GB, $44+ship. It doesn't have some of the stuff the pi has, but isn't being used anyway. The atoms I have run nicely on 2GB so I don't see any advantage in buying the 4GB model. Whats your opinion on it. Do you see a showstopper?
