Jumping In! Replacing my 20 year old PC with a Pi5/LinuxCNC/Mesa 7C81 setup was created by milhead
Hi Forum;
I went to use my CNC Router the other day and the cobbled together controller has give up.. Won't even boot after a few kicks and wiggles...
So I've put together a Raspberry Pi LinuxCNC controller with a mesa board to squeeze into the old PC location.
I've gotten the Pi5/LinuxCNC all running off the boot image but just yesterday received and added the Mesa 7C81 I/O board.
It's assembled and powers on, now I just need to figure how to connect the Mesa I/O to the outputs from LinuxCNC. I guess it's time to read.
If anyone has a good 7C81 configuration page they can refer me to I'd appriciate it. Ive just started and am not stuck yet but love a good example to follow.
Adventure Awaits!
My second machine build log, If you want a good laugh and have time to waste that you will never get back
