[Emc-developers] RTAI 5.3.2 release for LinuxCNC (Debian packages already available)

2022-09-10 Thread Alec Ari via Emc-developers 
Hello everyone!

I have updated RTAI to kernel 4.19.257 and have generated all new Debian 
Bullseye/11 packages and they are hosted on Github:

https://github.com/NTULINUX/RTAI/releases/tag/v5.3.2

The only files you really need are:

linux-image-4.19.257-rtai-amd64_4.19.257-rtai-amd64-1_amd64.deb
linux-headers-4.19.257-rtai-amd64_4.19.257-rtai-amd64-1_amd64.deb
rtai-modules-4.19.257_5.3.2-linuxcnc_amd64.deb

All that's left is to re-add RTAI support to the LinuxCNC Debian files. I have 
updated README.INSTALL to further explain how to build Debian kernel and RTAI 
packages and covered more use-cases.

Cheers!

Alec

It's the other way round. joint.N.. (Number 0-8) and axis.L

## Source string

HOME_USE_INDEX requires connections in your HAL file to joint.n.index-enable
from the encoder.n.index-enable.

## Source string description

type: Plain text

## Comment

The documentation typically abbreviates axes in pin names with capital 'N's,
and joints with capital 'L's, if my short term memory serves me right. The
joint.n.index-enable should be joint.L.index-enable (ok, joint. _L_.index-
enable for the extra eye candy), and I think it would be helpful if an encoder
representing a joint would get the same variable symbol, i.e. encoder.L.index-
enable instead of the '.n.'.

Objection, Steffen.

That might lead to confusing us older hands. An encoder is a signal 
source and it is
only married to a specific axis or joint in hal. Mixing and matching 
names will contribute
to the confusion, not clarify it. An encoder signal is all by 
itself(even if it might involve
6 actual wire its its hook is differential), until it is linked to an 
axis or joint, spindle, what
 have you in the hal files. We may note in our comments that THIS 
encoder is on the
rear of the axix B motor but until we "net" link it in carving up a hal 
file, it is an device

by itself totally unrelated to anything else in the system.

I'd have reservations about this being useful in the longer view. I 
don't think it would
be helpful to the newbee because he would get the impression they are 
somehow

connected when they are not until "net"ted together in a .hal file.

Meaningful "netnames", argv(1), to  the net statement are another 
critter entirely and totally

arbitrary.
