I also install SAMBA on all the Linux systems so I can get at the folders. Hopefully both images will be accepted in this email. In this case it's a BeagleBone Black running an older version of Linux attached to a special card that emulates an older 20MB MFM hard disk drive connected to an

Can you please detail how to reliably connect to a server? On a few of my systems I connect via wifi and mount the network path on a local folder. I have fstab set up to do this but it works only if I call 'mount -a' manually after logging in. This is presumably because the network link is not up

I'm running an emco pc turn 55 with a pi just because I could. It's not the ideal, but at the time, it was a cheap solution that could be harnessed to get people away from trying to run machines on an Arduino. Lately, however, the price and availability have become crazy, so I found the GK41 mini

The problem was using the Pi4 as a *development system*. This means continuous code changes, use of Git and text edits every day for hours. Simply using LCNC is nothing like that. That said. I don't see the point of using a Pi4 as an LCNC controller? The Pi4 is great and hard to beat if you

Hi Chris, I like that idea but the if you are using an Ethernet Based MESA 7i92 then the Ethernet port should not really be shared with the rest of the system. Ideally then for the rest of the system there should be a USB 3.0 to Ethernet Dongle. Or perhaps a SPI bus to Ethernet dongle since

I solved this problem (using Pi4 as a development system) by placing all my files on a file server. Development systems see near constant re-compiles and write to log files, source code edits and backups and so on. The networking on the Pi4 is pretty fast, or "fast" compared to an SD card. The

Here are some recent experiences with flash storage on a Pi4 as a development environment running LinuxCNC 2.8.2. A while back I posted in this mailing list that using an SSD on the Pi4 is prohibitive because it causes latency issues. At the time, I tested this on a heavily used, repurposed ssd.
