So for starters, I ought to edit the postgui stuff to only show green in the spindle pwr led from hy_comm-ok. But that's a last minute change thing and not germain now. The reported in the shell behind axis error is error 12, comm timeout. But it isn't any more verbose than that with - -g added to the loadusr line. I've now looked at the .c code from github but no place does it set a -12 Where or what do I do next to troubleshoot this. I can put in a timer to set the .enable 20 seconds after its powered up which ought to get it initialized first. But I doubt that will elicit any more info to point a finger at why? /dev/ttyUSB0 belongs to dialout but so do I. Once LCNC is running, an lsof|grep ttyUSB0 says its connected: gene@shop:~$ lsof |grep ttyUSB0 hy_vfd 16290 gene 3u CHR 188,0 0t0 2707 /dev/ttyUSB0 how can I display the comm settings in effect for ttyUSB0 ?
