Hello all,
finally had some time to install the linux iso (LinuxCNC 2.7.14 Debian 7
Wheezy <http://www.linuxcnc.org/iso/linuxcnc-2.7.14-wheezy.iso>) again,
I used the link as mentioned earlier
(http://www.linuxcnc.org/downloads/) <http://www.linuxcnc.org/downloads/>
I couldn't make any screen dumps, since nothing gets installed), but I
took 2 pics.
The same ting happens in the gui install (as in the text install.)
thanks,
Ron
The two screen shots didn't get accepted on the list, so I'll try to
type them here:
popup 1:
"The repository on security.debian.org couldn't be accessed, so it's
updates will not be
made available to you at this time. You should investigate this later.
Commented out entries for security.debian.org have been added to the
/etc/apt/sources.list file."
popup 2 (next popup):
"/media/cdrom/:Please insert the disc labeled: 'Debian GNU/Linux 7.0.0
_Wheezy_-Official
Snapshot i386 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20190522-22:10' in the drive
'/media/cdrom' and press
enter."

When you start up LinxuCNC you can click on an ICON that takes you to the
folder that has the .ini and .hal files. I have 2 icons on the desktop, one
for the parallel port version and one for the MESA 7i92H.
For the last little while the MESA card has been sitting on the side and the PC
parallel port cable goes to my BoB. I can then dual boot into either LinuxCNC
or WIN-XP/MACH3.
I'm holding off on a permanent solution until I get the spindle mounted. I can
do simple PWM to 10V analog with the single parallel port and the 7i92H can do
that as can MACH3.
But while I can easily change those two pins, PWM and DIR, to be STEP and DIR
under MACH3 there is no configuration file for the MESA that swaps a step
generator into the pins allocated for PWM. Hence the reason the MESA is
sitting on the side.
The port P1 pins for the step generator on the MESA aren't available on my
PMDX-126 BoB because the PMDX allocates those for their custom and proprietary
expansion boards. So if I want STEP/DIR with the MESA I have to build or add a
second BoB that can interface to the spindle motor step/dir inputs. With MACH3
I can use either a Smooth Stepper or the parallel port and in both cases set
the one pin to be PWM or STEP. The Direction pin can remain unchanged.
Anyway your .hal and .ini files will define your environment. You get to
choose which hardware pins, within the limitation of the hardware, do what. So
there's no reason you can't have your lathe and your mill wired up to the same
MESA I/O interface. You just can't run them at the same time. And given how
long some milling projects take I'm not sure I'd want to have my lathe disabled
because milling project will take 2 hours.
I'll bet in no time at all you'd duplicate the hardware you have and have the
two machines run independently. What you can do is add a switch that shares,
keyboard, mouse and display between two PCs.

I don't know if it is ok to post a screenshot here, but this is what I
get to see in Debian (see attached).
Also, in linuxcnc, can I use two different parallel ports and hook a
mill up to one and a lathe to the orher and use
either one in linuxcnc (or does that mean I need to configurations,� one
for each specific parallel port?)
thanks,
Ron

The Wheezy ISO was updated to reference the archive repository on the
24th
of May. It sounds like your download was comfortably after that.
So that seems to indicate that the repository fix did not work. Which is
odd, as (and others) tested it.
I downloaded� and installed ten days ago.� The install went without
hitch.
