Most of my computers are multi-user, although that is becoming more
difficult. I have one install for an application for all users.
Since the package creation/installation is broken, I decided to go back
to one computer, one person philosophy.
I cleaned the build tree, configured, and built linuxcnc from git
sources. Lots of possible buffer overflow warnings (6 to 53 bytes in a
48 byte buffer, etc).
But, linuxcnc runs with my previous sherline configurations. On initial
startup, it asked if I wanted to convert my config files. After backup,
I accepted.
I am remote from the machine, so the stepper motor power supply is off.
However, linuxcnc appears to move the steppers! It is raining and I
have to go outside to access the machine.
I ran the latency test. I while that was happening, I ran a backup and
some 'ls -laR /' commands. Since the 'ls' output was over the network,
and backup caused the disk to do funny things, I think this may be a
good check. The results:
Max Max last
Interval(ns) Jitter(ns) Interval(ns)
------------ ---------- ------------
Servo Thread (1ms) 1004388 4428 999970
Base Thread (25 us) 29596 4597 25040
This looks good.
Now, if the problem with python-vte can be fixed, I can install linuxcnc.
