03:02 AM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> Love this guy's videos, might steal some ideas for a linuxcnc controller

08:18 AM JT-Cave: hmm just installed r8125-dkms and it shut down the pci nic
08:31 AM rdtsc: perhaps wrong driver for that nic?
08:33 AM rdtsc: when I got a https://www.pishop.us/product/raspberry-pi-dual-band-5ghz-2-4ghz-usb-wifi-adapter-with-antenna for the rpi5, it needed a very custom driver: https://github.com/morrownr/8821cu-20210916
08:51 AM -!- #linuxcnc mode set to +v by ChanServ
08:51 AM rdtsc: perhaps https://github.com/awesometic/realtek-r8125-dkms
08:51 AM JT-Shop: I wonder if I need two different drivers installed? the pcie nic is a different one iirc
08:53 AM rdtsc: this one specifically says pcie: https://github.com/MONaH-Rasta/r8125
08:54 AM rdtsc: it's kinda nice that any-ol-body can make a driver and host it publically... but also kinda scary
08:55 AM JT-Shop: the pcie one is not r8125 iirc
08:56 AM rdtsc: try a lspci -k to see what's actually in there and what driver is currently being used
09:03 AM JT-Cave: that prints a whole lot of stuff
09:04 AM JT-Cave: john@cave:~$ lspci | grep Ethernet

09:40 AM Unlogic: Hi, is it just me or is the forum currently down?
09:43 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> Seems down here too
09:43 AM rdtsc: seems down here, :80 also
09:52 AM lcnc-relay: <.gdth@> i was wondering the same
09:53 AM lcnc-relay: <.gdth@> does anyone have experience with a carousel with a stepper motor? it homes but afterwards it is not ready for some reason
09:55 AM JT-Cave: well trying to have both nics working with dkms drivers failed again
10:01 AM rdtsc: Perhaps PCW has some insights
10:03 AM Unlogic: The forums seems to work again now
10:04 AM Unlogic: Or at least it did for a brief while
10:32 AM rdtsc: Note to self... next time ordering lots of laser-cut steel parts, don't assume there is zero slag - get the deburr/finishing option. My deburr tool, a file, and a dremel all have hours of use...
10:42 AM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> Oof
10:47 AM rdtsc: first time ordering laser-cut; description read 'almost no slag' and while true, I did need flat fit-up so my fault :)
10:53 AM Unterhaus_ is now known as Unterhausen
10:53 AM Unterhausen: Sendcutsend automatically selects deburr if they will do it on a part. Unfortunately, I often order small parts they won't deburr
10:54 AM Unterhausen: I wish they would tumble them
12:38 PM mrec: does linuxcnc work with a standard RT kernel now or are there still some patches required?
12:39 PM Tom_L: should work ok with the supplied RT kernel
12:41 PM Tom_L: i _think_ pcw was checking one maybe for trixie the other day
12:52 PM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> Has anyone managed to get linuxcnc running on an nvidia jetson at all? Should run rings around an rpi
12:54 PM jpa-: https://forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-questions/36258-jetson-nano-as-linuxcnc-driver?start=0 did you read this?
12:55 PM Tom_L: the rpi5 runs rings around the rpi4
12:55 PM Tom_L: fwiw
12:56 PM jpa-: and any of them is good enough for executing g-code.. then if you want to run CAD/CAM on the same system, you are probably better off with x86 anyway
01:07 PM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> jpa-: Yeah, that's quite old though
01:12 PM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> I have a few jetsons, my experience in using them is rpi doesn't even come close, xavier nx is fairly old by now, but boots lightning fast with gen4 nvme and can 4x4k video streams
01:12 PM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> *do

01:18 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:443/~webpage/cnc/Rpi5/Rpi5_histogram2.png
02:56 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> Agreeing with tom.. The rpi5 works darn well..
02:56 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> the 4 worked.. but the 5 really is fast
02:57 PM andypugh: I have just finished (manually) building debs for arm64 for bookworm, buster is in progress. I ignore bullseye.
02:58 PM andypugh: (I should probably also ignore Buster, it’s avoer a year out of extended long term support)
03:00 PM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> andypugh: Sounds painful, would that work for Jetsons?
03:01 PM lcnc-relay: <andypugh@> Do you have LinuxCNC on the Jetson?
03:04 PM JT-Shop: next silly name is Forky :)
03:04 PM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> andypugh@: No, I was just wondering about the feasibility of it, I have jetsons, if they're not usable, I'll have to get some cheapo x86s, I have a habit of giving away pcs I'm not using
03:04 PM BorgPipe: https://github.com/netpipe/StarServer starlink webserver
03:04 PM lcnc-relay: <andypugh@> What OS is on the Jetson?
03:05 PM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> Ubuntu by default
03:05 PM lcnc-relay: <andypugh@> Have you tried "sudo apt-get install linuxcnc-uspace" ?
03:05 PM xxcoder: if ubuntu is stock, then debian would work fine
03:06 PM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> No, I'll give that a go tomorrow, thanks. one pint away from seeing double atm
03:09 PM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> Think it's 20.04 for xavier generation and 22.04 for orin in the latest jetpack releases
03:09 PM BorgPipe is now known as NetPipe
03:14 PM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> Would be really cool if it worked, my experience with jetsons is that they're extremely snappy ui wise compared to rpi, and it's real pcie nvme support rather than usb bridge
03:26 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> https://photos.app.goo.gl/i6FeCkBjwvD4U7G8A
03:29 PM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> skunkworks8841@: Beautiful
03:29 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> Camera on the 50ft tower still works..
03:43 PM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> Was hairy watching you raise it 😅

04:58 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> Lol.. I haven't killed anyone yet.. knock on wood
04:59 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> Who has a cheap point to point for around 300 ft?
05:00 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> Would like 1gbs
05:00 PM xxcoder: nice indeed. it was pretty cool, seeing you get tower back up.
05:13 PM lcnc-relay: <.le_potato@> i really have to switch to rpi 5
05:13 PM lcnc-relay: <.le_potato@> looks like more stable than a x86
05:16 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> I don't know if I had any stability problems with x86.. I have had bot the rpi and x86 machines on for weeks with no issues
05:16 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> *both
05:21 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> Usually running linuxcnc with no realtime issues..
05:52 PM lcnc-relay: <andypugh@> LinuxCNC 2.9.5 has been released.
05:52 PM lcnc-relay: This is mainly a bugfix release, but includes a new modbus driver for the Mesa UART (update/replacement for mesa_modbus with more flexibility and configurability)
05:52 PM lcnc-relay: Packages for 2.9-uspace for amd64 (PC) for Debian Buster, Bullseye, Bookworm and Trixie and for arm64 (Raspberry Pi 4/5) for Buster and Bookworm have been added to the linuxcnc repository.
05:52 PM lcnc-relay: If you installed from one of our live images or Pi SD-card images then the update should be available immediately.

06:39 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> thank you Andy!
06:39 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> (and all the contributers..)
06:40 PM lcnc-relay: <xxcoder@> nice indeed
09:21 PM Unterhausen: Police stopped by asking us about our neighbor. After getting messages for a month and a half, his sister finally realized he was missing
09:22 PM xxcoder: getting messages from bro or?
09:22 PM Unterhausen: from his neighbors
09:22 PM xxcoder: ahh ok
09:23 PM Unterhausen: one of our neighbors visited him in the hospital, so he's okay
09:23 PM Unterhausen: good thing they didn't break down the door
