Yes, 2.5.3.
I duplicated the issue again today.
Also I noticed on the help/about page, there is not an entry for copywrite

You might try hanging a current probe on the output of the Gecko to see if
it is switching between run current mode and standby current mode when the
direction line is being toggled.
It shouldn't cause any harm, just more power used.

My grade A granite block is glossy, and the grade B block is matte.
You could put a temporary gloss on it with WD40.

The module is not loading into the kernel. Permission issue?
Without the module loaded into the kernel, I don't think the system can
talk to the FPGA.
I don't know this first hand, just reading the listings above.

The things we ad
You can run most versions of linux without the overhead of the gui by
starting the system in run level 3. The gui usually starts in run level
5. You then have to figure out how to control LinuxCNC, maybe from a
remote computer (I think some users have done this).

Sorry, that is MD I command.
You should see the tool number at the bottom of the axis screen.
If there is no tool number listed there, you dont you don't get the "tool
table" option in the touch off screen.

I have taken a tee handle socket wrench, purchased some short extensions

Then put a patch of paint, different color for each chuck/key pair, on the

I just downloaded the 2.7.0 iso, & made a live usb stick.
I booted from it, and noticed that LCNC is indicating "PRE2".
Is this the official 2.7.0 release (with a little chaff left in it)?

For circuit boards I use Kicad to generate Gerber files, then FlatCAM to
get from Gerber to gcode. FlatCAM is python based, so works on most
platforms. There is a bit of post editing of the gcode files, I do to
improve speed. The gcode goes to a ShapeOKO2 flat bed router. The boards

I started using FlatCAM last December. I think it was version 7.0. At
that it was lacking several needed features. It is now at version 8.3.
I emailed the author with some of the feature I was in need of, and also
asked where I could send a check to cover his efforts.
