Thanks for all the work on the documentation. I am trying to follow that to set up Machinekit on a Beaglebone with CRAMPS. First time ever, never used Machinekit or Beaglebone although I am pretty fluent in Linux and know some related things from working with 3d printers, but anyway.
I will give some feedback here. 1. Which image to use? There are several options, but really I would like to have a recommendation. I chose jessie. 2. I think the point with configuring apt is not 100% correct when it comes to libczmq-dev. I failed to follow the instructions to use "sid". Instead it now seems that libczmq-dev is available in jessie so that part is not needed. I messed around quite a bit trying to follow the instructions, so can't be 100% though. 3. Flashing the image to eMMC - I don't know if it has been done. Should I do it? Seems info in uEnv.txt doesn't match. 4. First at this point it was clear to me that I was using xenomai and that was the version to install. 5. I was running this without a screen, so tightvncserver was installed. That wasn't good enough due to lacking OpenGL. x11vnc worked fine though. 6. Had not attached the CRAMPS board, so when I chose the CRAMPS sample configuration I got some weird errors. First after quite a bot of googling I found out that the board has to be connected. 7. I felt I should try to update the documentation on the libczmq-dev topic. But it is quite a big step to take, being a real beginner and not sure if I am stupid or the documentation is wrong. Also using git to clone and submit changes - it is also a large threshold. Nothing a beginner will do for sure. At least not me. Anyway these are my comments and feedback. When being a beginner, nothing is obvious and things can't be spelled out clear enough sometimes. /H -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
