[Machinekit] RE: Just Some Ideas/Seth

[Mala Dies]

Hello,

If you are using MachineKit and are rebooting instead of powering off and 
then booting, make sure your image on your eMMC is wiped clean or hold down 
your S2 button each time you boot. 

Network Abort issues arise.

Seth

[Machinekit] Re: Installing Machinekit on Beaglebone Black to Use on PC Desktop

[Mala Dies]

Hello,

I was unaware that you posted here. Try this idea and please let me know if 
it works:

sudo /sbin/route add default gw 192.168.7.1
echo -e "nameserver 8.8.8.8\nnameserver 1.1.1.1" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolv.conf 
>/dev/null

Seth

P.S. I found that on a person's github page. It may work.

Re: [Machinekit] RE: Why are We Using an Older Kernel for the MachineKit for the BBB?

[Mala Dies]

Hello Sir,

Got it. I am staying w/ the 3.8.x kernel then. Supportive people are nice, 
too.

Seth

P.S. I did get the 3.8.x kernel and I am upgrading right now via apt. Yea

The "old" 3.8.x based image is well known..  It works as is, any
updates and you are really on your own..

There is a newer image here, using v4.19.x-rt, it's just not as much utilzed..

Re: [Machinekit] Machinekitclient, remote stdout shows up as error dialogs

[schoone...@gmail.com]

This is in hand.

A long time ago, possibly in linuxcnc, someone set the behaviour of the 
print functions to be contrary to what was expected,

instead of fixing them so that they didn't spew unwanted info.

A recent commit changed this because some info was not being printed 
when it should be, but with knock on as you found.


The behaviour will be reverted shortly and the print issue re-visited later.

[Machinekit] Installing Machinekit on Beaglebone Black to Use on PC Desktop

[Sardar Vayghannezgad]

Hi all,
I have been struggling for the past ten days, as a brand new user, to get 
my Beaglebone Black rec C (element 14) to run Machinekit on my Win 8.1 PC. 
To save you the long story, I am totally lost. What I've been able to learn 
during 
my time playing with all the software and hardware around me from forums, 
blogs, sites, personal intuition, etc comes down to:

   - successfully flashing an image on a microSD card and then transfer 
   them on to the BB-Black, so that it can run without the flash card inside,
   - connecting BBB to my PC via puTTY and to the internet (albeit, 
   apparently Google only, as I cannot have puTTy download any packages)
   
Since I am desperately looking for some dummies pointers on the issues I 
have, I'm giving all the software/hardware coordinates I think are 
important:

The image I'm using is from here 


My Questions are:

   1. BBB does show up on my PC with the default image 
   
it comes out with, and I can go through the instructions available on 
Beagleboard/getting 
   started webpage 
   , but once I replace it with another Image 
   

   , it doesn't seem to appear as a drive on my PC nor anywhere on the 
   Device Manager. However, I can putty it to my PC, and share my PC WiFi with 
   it. Given that I have installed the required drivers from BBoard Getting 
   Started 
   , Is this normal?!! If not, What is it that causes this? (I have 
   searched high and low online, but haven't come up with a concrete 
   conclusion)
   2. I can use my PC WiFi to connect BBB to the Google per online 
   instructions, yet any attempt, via puTTY, to download Machinekit Packages 
   
(Just in case, is the link right for my case?!!) from the related 
   website leads in the error:
   
machinekit@beaglebone:~$ sudo apt-get install machinekit-xenomai
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package machinekit-xenomai


or
machinekit@beaglebone:~$ sudo apt-get install machinekit-posix
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package machinekit-posix

  3. I have downloaded the Machinekit Client on my PC. What 
else do I need? I can see online that I need download tightVNC viewer both 
on my PC and on the BBB via puTTY. right? Provided that I can do so, do I 
need to download a VCP (Visual Control Panel) like QtQuickVcp to use in 
conjunction with Machinekit? Should I install this on my PC or BBB or 
both?!!!

4. My keyboard is misspelling on ThightVNC window. How can I 
fix this? 

Any help, however small, would be appreciated.
