if the current directory level is /linuxcnc-dev/debian, and you type cd. cd linuxcnc-dev will move up to the linuxcnc-dev directory (if there is such a folder in the current directory)Ĭd OR cd ~ - changes to the home directoryĬd. Sudo Thunarthis allows the Folder viewer GUI (Thunar) to open with sudo privileges and then you can just navigate to the file and double click on it to open it in Geany again with super user privileges to edit and save it accordingly.Ĭd - change directory (eg.

Sudo Folder Access / File Edit (graphically)īeing a windows guy, I like to sometimes use the graphical folder view to navigate my way to edit files (such as the nfig file and the network/interfaces file and other stuff that requires sudo (super user) privileges, hence I open a terminal and run Sudo geany etc/net/int will open the network interfaces file. if in doubt, just press tab and it may complete the line for you from the current directory or the directory you are navigating to such as Likewise if you are installing a debian (*.deb) file You can also do multiple TABs on a line, such as:Ĭd linuxcnc-dev, then type /deb and it will complete the line as It also avoids typos on long complex file names.Ĭd linuxcnc-dev if you have a linuxcnc-dev file that is When typing out something such as directory change, or to run a file or open a deb file, use the TAB key for linux to autocomplete the text.

I will try to add a few more tips to this list as I remember or use them. But for me, a native button clicking windows user who although used dos, still likes a gui the terminal has taken a bit of getting used to: I thought I'd post a few shortcut tips that I've learnt using linux, stuff that may be obvious to some who just use linux or have been using it for years. The stepper drives have plugs & leads so I swap between machines from a central control station its a hobby setup and I don't use more than one machine at any one time. I share the 2 x Mesa ethernet devices between all of the machines, basically the plasma, mill and router use the 7i76E which drives 5x stepper drives, and the 7i92H+7i76 is used for the lathe driving 2 stepper drives, and a servo for the spindle. I have 2 x Mesa ethernet devices, each on its own ethernet port / network adapter hence they are each setup with their own static IP address. LinuxCNC uses a Mesa 7i76E + THCAD5 for the Plasma and a Mesa 7i92H + 7i76 mill router and lathe (hence 2 x static ports setup in the interfaces file) * list Atomstack A10/S10/X7 with M50 laser and Ortur rotary axis * list 3 axis router, openbuilds Cbeam-XL, with makita rt0700c router, and SuperPID speed controller, with laser diode, and drag-knife attachment * list Emco / Maximat FB2 3 axis mill with stepper converted rotary table, converted to cnc using nema 34 stepper motors and HTD belt reduction for 0.001mm/step per X,Y and Z axis. * list Denford Orac Lathe, running with 750W servo motor spindle (2:1 reduction drive) and spindle shaft encoder (1000ppr) using 40 position mutifix quick change tool post.

LINUXCNC FREECAD DOWNLOAD ISO
My current setup is: Debian Buster LinuxCNC 2.8.2 installed via iso on usb stick. These settings may not work for you! Then again you may learn something like I have following all the countless installs of LinuxCNC via iso / buildbot / RIP installs on Debian Buster, Bullseye and MX21 etc. I've posted some of my settings on a few threads and I do a search for those when I set up from a clean slate to start again. This also allows me to setup my LinuxCNC setup quickly if I do a fresh start in a short space of time. I thought I could set myself up a thread which I could use as a central repository for my current setup(s) for my LinuxCNC setup.
