Well - what happened with the Bantam's LinuxCNC update?

Did you get it running finally?

Last time round, I'd installed the new version of Linux and LinuxCNC but it wasn't working.

The error messages gave a bit of a hint. Each one lists the lines in the HAL files that are causing the app to crash. Commenting out the problematic lines one by one finally got me a working system, with all the axis scaling, homing, closed loop operation etc. 

Still some issues to be sorted out, when the ongoing domestic tasks allow:

• The wireless MPG sort of works. It allows jogging but many of the keys don't work.
• Andy Pugh's macros don't show up. A tab appears in the GUI but clicking on it does nothing. This was actually one of the main features I was hoping to gain by upgrading, so there is work still to do.

Hopefully I will get some inputs from the LinuxCNC forum to help resolve these issues. But for now, it's over the main hump in the road.....
