Howdy
My names Wayne Dalton , I’m in New Zealand .
I have these 2 units (7c80 and rpi4) and I’m working towards getting them
working correctly .
I have Linux cnc installed , I worked from new newest rpi install and then
installed Linux cnc from there rather than the Linux cnc official install …
because that came up with .. errors . I followed an install guide I found on
Linux cnc but the threed didn’t explain how exactly to do the config .
I can get the pi to ping the board in command line
( I’m not great with Linux at all btw )
So now I’m at the point of building a hal for the board .
I understand … you install a different board and then just assign all the pins
and set it to spi for communication but this is where im getting lost .
I’ve had a look on Linux cnc and there are maybe 2 posts , one of them have a
test Hal and Ini file with everything assigned but honestly I’m not
understanding how I transfer than in or even get Linux cnc to see it .
I’ve tried accessing a couple files but it just tells me I don’t have
permission …. But I’m not even sure I have the right files so that might not be
a bad thing .
Any help or insight is appreciated
The application is a converted knee mill ( kondia/Bridgeport) and I’m working
on finishing the 4th and 5th axis design .
I’m using ac servos that have step and direction capability as well as a
encoder output .
I’m currently rebuilding the machine with ballscrews and I’m hoping to finish
the electronics control in parallel while I wait on small parts to arrive .
Using a 4g rpi4 with a 128gig sata m.2 drive
