Schooner, I have used Emc2/Linuxcnc for years. I know what an .ini file is. Linuxcnc has a method of separating stuff by what I think you are calling flavors (Jessie, Stretch, etc???). If I want to build a system based on 2.7 I will definitely find something to use as a starting point. Then I will have to choose between Wheezy, Jessie, or Stretch. If I want to build a system based on 2.8 I will get lots of help but maybe not a working config as a starting point. If I want to build a system on Jessie, I can download stuff that at least uses Jessie as a starting point. If I want to build a system on Stretch I can maybe find something someone has done on Stretch.
So I am trying to build a Machinekit system on Stretch. But I sort of expected that the configs that were released on the Stretch image would at least load — not that they would do what I want to do. So far I haven’t found a single config that uses .hal on Stretch that will even load. That is why I am looking for help and that is why I am trying to post what I find. To help those who follow. If someone has a working config for Stretch that uses both .ini and .hal, I would love to see it. I really thought that there would be a working config for the CRAMPS board since Charles developed that but no luck there either.
