Can the OPI5 be Configured to Run LCNC?

It's there and works. Just had to add a short pause so that /proc could be created before writing to the files there.

Nice, thank you.

Perhaps twisting the wires will help or use a cat 5 cable.

Currently there are 2 metal cases for the OPi5+

There is this one from geekworm which has internal heatsink and 5v fan, the heat sink is only for the cpu chip and not the ram.

There is also this one, no clue who makes it but it is available from a few stores on aliexpress. This one also has a fan but the case is the heatsink with a cover plate for the bottom. It looks like the heatsink contacts 4 chips instead of just the cpu. This doesn't provide as much protection as the first one but is probably better for anyone who plans to embed their SBC in their CNC controller box like me.

Or... you can build your case as I did.. image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/cool.png

 
 

Inside there is the heatsink showd by BuzzFab inside, with fan.
The temperature thay around 55 degrees.
 

I'm almost over the finish line. I have the Boss3 running. Not cut any parts yet, but I'm working through the final configurations.

-Due to limited inputs, I configured X and Y axis to use a single switch for both limits. I haven't yet figured out how to make the home in gmocappy. The Z has separate limit and home switch, and is working great.
-I read posts here saying that you can't control the VFD using the Mesa 7i96s's onboard RS-485. So I bought a $12 converter. I don't get a /dev/ttyUSB<x> so I'm thinking there might be a module that is needed for it to recognize the CH343 chipset?
-I have a start and a pause button wired in. As well as a switch to control the spindle direction.. But, I've yet to figure out how to tie those in to LinuxCNC.
