[RFC] Machinekit OS issues (3d printer programming)

I am looking for advice or help (the hardware seems to be running i have gotten the xyz steppers to move.)

The two things I need help with.

    • I need to do is create a set up for the Beaglebone Black C ramps hardware that does not use the onboard operating system graphic user interface.
    • Second is to set remote user interfaces of QtQuickVcp.

I am using CRAMPS(https://reprap.org/wiki/CRAMPS) Board with Machinekit(http://www.machinekit.io/docs/getting-started/machinekit-images/).

I have done the tests with the screen and I have learned the latency of Graphics UI messes up the Scheduling of the real time system. Yet i can use remote user interfaces,which will put the hard work of the ui on the client side.


I am looking to use (vagrant and virtual box) as well as MachinekitClient.

Thank you for reading.

right now i am looking to alter

/etc/linuxcnc/machinekit.ini

So that i can get remote access. How would you do this?
machinekit_ini.pdf (17.0 KB)

Guess you would have physical access and permission to alter the file?

If so, try taking the sd card out of the BBBlack and mounting it then edit the file directly, and/or installing your user+ssh public key.

yes i own and have access to the sd card… any chance someone would be able to help program?
