    So far your series is Machinist and CNC machinist approved. (I do both and have my degree in manufacturing technology)

    I just found your channel from Makin Sumthin From Nuthin channel. I've been wanting for some time to get away from Mach and WindowsXP. I have three CNCs a Shopbot PRT 4896 that has it's own software but also a Sherline 5400 desktop mill that I converted and a 7x10 Mini-lathe that I also converted. The latter two are controlled with Mach3 and I really would like to upgrade computers and controller software to a 64-bit version of Windows 10. I'm looking forward to this series to really help. Thanks for making this knowledge available!

      Hi George. I hope you find the information useful. But let me be clear. These tutorials cover LinuCNC and are targeted towards the beginner. LinuxCnc runs on a 64 bit system with real-time extensions. Currently most would install it with Debian wheezy but a newer iso is in the works with Debian stretch. Other installations are possible as long as you have real-time extensions. If I can offer any help, please feel free to comment on a video or email me. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.

      Thanks Joe. I was a Unix user many years ago and I've been using Ubuntu off and on for several years. I'm looking forward to your videos so I can try and learn something about LinuxCNC. I'm most needing to learn the setup which I'm sure is way different than Mach3. Thanks for the reply, I hope to catch up on a lot of your videos!

    • @MyHeap
      @MyHeap  Před 5 lety

      George, it has been a little bit since I released a video on this series but I have not abandoned it. The next one will cover using the stepconf wizard to set the machine up. If I am not slammed this week at work, I hope to find some time to do the outline for it. After that I will walk through a real setup using either my CNC router as an example, or some separate motors and controllers. Keep the faith, I will get to them.

    • @MyHeap
      @MyHeap  Před 5 lety

      One more thing, LinuCNC follows the Unix paradigm pretty close. Most stuff is set up in plain text files, but if you are familiar with *nix and have been using Ubuntu, you won't have many troubles with that.

    Installing, in terms of putting the iso on a USB key get etcher, it is trivial to use.

      Took a quick look and see that it is cross platform. That is good news. I will try to get some time in the next couple days to download and try it out. Thank you for pointing out another resource for us. Thanks for taking the time to watch my videos and taking the time to comment. I appreciate it.

    Good day Joe and really thanks for your very interesting serie. I'm on the way to switch/test Linuxcnc from Mach3 for my diy Milling machine. As explained I downloaded the image from linuxcnc.org, verified and tested as live distro, followed by full installation on appropriate Dell Optiplex780.
    The bad point seems that some repository references are recently changed and the installation is not anymore so easy. I tested directly from the live and get the same problem. The result is that you cannot install some apps to make stress test and anytime you check for update you get plenty of errors. As you understand I'm not a Linux expert and even less regarding linuxcnc. Do you mind, if you have a time, to verify this situation?
    I still following all your very good videos but not sure I'm working in the same condition you're describing.
    My regards and thanks again

      Danilo, It seems that Debian Wheezy is now EOL (end of life) This would explain why the repositories are not working. Here is a link to Debian Stretch that I believe will be the replacement for Wheezy as far as LinuxCNC goes. I am currently working on an update to the Parallel port video and will address the isue of Wheezy in the next one. Here is the link: www.linuxcnc.org/testing-stretch-rtpreempt/
      You would install it very much like wheezy. If you have questions, please reach out.

      @@MyHeap Thanks Joe for your prompt answer, in fact I've tried the testing version but something still to be stabilized, I guess. My single point up to now is to understand if the Wheezy offer anyway a stable solution even with few repo for updating and still usable until new version will be released. Have you tried with Ubuntu Precise 12.04 version?
      Thanks again for your time.

      @@danilo9724 Wheezy is debian v7 long term support while stretch is debian v9 long term support. So as the operating system goes, stretch should be fine to use. As I understand it, stretch (debian 9) wi9ll be the official release for linuxcnc when they are done testing it. Now that aside, you can install LinuxCNC on other distrobutions of linux using uspace. John has a page on it located here. gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/uspace/index.html
      I have been asked about installing it on other OSes by other users, so I may try it and see what I can do. If successful I will post a video on it.
      Back to Wheezy. I think there are ways to get repositories for wheezy. You may want to hit up the gang on the IRC. I hope that helps some.

      Chris Morley, thank you for letting me know how to pronounce it. I suppose I should have got on the irc or forums and asked. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch. I am grateful that you are here. Perhaps, you would be willing to keep an eye on this series as I put it together. You can give me some direction. Goodness knows, you and others gave me tons of help over the years. Thank you.

      Your video is a good interesting start! Good video tutorials for basic beginnings are a great way to help linuxcnc as it does have a fairly high bar to get started. Thank you for making it.
