Also a 3hr NIC test by running a modified version of axis.ngc that was in a Repeat loop. This essentially meant the 7i76e was running gcode solid for 3 hrs. No isses experienced or warns reported by axis.





The setup I used is documented below.

Scripts that I used/adjusted for this test.

This includes the hog cpu script and the linuxcnc wrapper script that needs to be used. This wrapper starts linuxcnc on core 2 then moves the UI task to Core 1. This needed to ensure a balance of UI responsiveness while the RT tasks own Core 2.

Cpu hog on core 2 ensures clock speeds are maxed while linuxcnc is running. A quirk of this architecture seems to be that maxing core 2 also maxes core 1. But the opposite is not true. An alternative setup is to use idle=poll on the kernwl boot. In which case cou hog is not needed. However the cpu will run hot. I was seeing 70C which is deemed “hot” by this cpu with 100C as critical.
The advantage of cpu hog is if you stop lcnc the wrapper kills hog and the cpu will start to cool.

You will also see from the h/w test file that kernel 4.19 was used. I also tests with 4.9.0-13 and noticed that clock speeds seemed to be maxed irrespective of using idle=poll on kernel boot or not.

Cheers - J

Thanks a ton! That's what I would call a complete documentation of your config. Very inspiring!

Hi all

I'm trying to setup a HP T610 for my next project. I've followed the guide but seem to be getting terrible latency and it doesn;t seem to have improved.

I've tried running - sudo echo "install pcspkr /bin/true" >/etc/modprobe.d/pcspkr.conf and I get an error stating bash: /etc/modprobe.d/pcspkr.conf: Permission denied

I am running Debian 11 with LCNC 2.9 so I can run python 3 with QTPYVCP.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what may improve the latency? Output from latency script below.

Thanks

Dave

Do not use a base thread/period when testing latency, it is normally used for parallel port systems.

Just run it again with the base thread and it doesn't look any better -

Try the latency or latency-histogram utils that come with a standard Linuxcnc install. You might be surprised at the difference in latency.

Hi davidimurray
Add ram! I strongly believe 2GB is low, if not too low. In addition: 2x4GB ddr3 should nowadays be available for little money.

Have you got any testing to back that up ?

I’ve seen extremely great results with an dual core Athalon with 4Gig ram running the latest Buster ISO. Yep this is a 2008 or there about setup. The test was also with a base and servo thread.

I feel this is getting into “Windows Guru” territory by just proclaiming “add more ram” to improve latency.

It would be interesting to see your test results with various ram quantities on the same setup.
