This along with your keyboard and switches tutorials are a very good introduction to how to interface linuxcnc to the control panel. I am upgrading a Hurco mill and have been studying the interface to the controls, this helps a lot. Thanks!
I just found this and I haven't quite dug into it deeply enough but I see LED, Keyboards and switches in the 4 videos are controllable using this. My question is I'm running LinuxCNC from a Raspi 5 with a parallel port hat connected to a gecko540 which consumes my 25 pins. Would I be able to configure this to run a pair of stepper motors to move around a tool changer controlled by an Arduino with an M6 command sent in Linux CNC? I'm not concerned with a bit of delay in the tool changer I'm okay if it moves slowly. My concern is making sure the motors can properly home themselves and orient the tool changer on startup. I'm fairly good at working with arduinos and I know I could make the tool changer function correctly I just need to be able to get it to interface with LinuxCNC (which I don't have much experience with) properly.
I'd say you can definetly do it. Can you code python? My Software is not yet supporting Steppers, so unfortunately some coding would be required for you.
@@theartoftinkering Hi, yes I have some Python experience, not a pro by any means. Sounds like it would be a fun project to figure out. I will start working on this soon and I'll probably have some more questions lol.
Gread Video! When i run the "loadusr arduino-connetor" in halrun, i get a error saying: :1: execv(arduino-connector): No such file or directory The arduino-connector file is copied in the correct path. I can find it via the file browser... any advice?
Fixed it, needet to make the file executible throuth the terminal, just checking the box in the settings tab didnt work. Or maybe a restart of the pc was needed. Or the python version in the first line needed to be updatet to my version (3.11) :D
Hello, I have installed Linux CNC ten times, I could not overcome the problem of different loadusr, arduino-connector, no matter what I tried, what is the reason for this, can you help me, what kind of installation should I do?
Yes, somebody had the same issue the other day. Check out this issue on Github: github.com/AlexmagToast/LinuxCNC_ArduinoConnector/issues/8 I am not shure what causes this and how to fix it unfortunately.
i don't know why it doesn't work for some people. You are not the first to have this issue. Have you tried calling arduino connector with halrun in the console?
try running "python3 --version" it will tell you, which version you have installed. Propably you have 3.11 installed. Then open arduino-connector py file and edit the first line to match your version. That should fix it.

Regards from heart of tinkerland.. thanks for pretty job
Sehr Interessant die Sache 👌 Freu mich und bin gespannt auf die weiteren Teile. Gruß
Really nice! Do you have a thread going on the Linux CNC forum?
Yes, i'd reccommend this one: forum.linuxcnc.org/show-your-stuff/48630-arduino-io-expansion

I did install Linuxcnc like this: ruclips.net/video/2SSzstLp5cs/видео.html
Great work, will this work on a raspberry pi running Linuxcnc ?
I think it should work! If it does for you, would you please confirm?
@@theartoftinkering will do
Every time I try this, halrun tells me no such file. Has anyone else run into this?

I'm trying to follow your video, but none of the ways explained worked. the Arduino does not appear in the hal confguretion show
can you help me? I'm a beginner, in Brazil I don't get much information that I can understand
i don't know why it doesn't work for some people. You are not the first to have this issue.

@@theartoftinkering Yes. but it didn't work when I ran it because the directory didn't exist
