In the setup wizard of LinuxCNC, it asks for a maximum latency. What latency value do I put in there? And which one of the two?
Also can I just leave it blank? I mean what does the program need to know it for?

To answer in reverse order: Stepconf uses that number to choose an appropriate base-thread rate. So, I guess you should use the base-thread max jitter. Though to be safe I would choose the larger of the base-thread and servo-thread jitters.

Okay, also regarding SMI, do I need to do anything with SMI (I don't know what to do with it, but will learn to do it if I need to)?
If I don't, would it be better to just do it anyway just in case?

No, it is best only to do it if absolutely necessary, as it can damage the motherboard. (Intel don't do SMI for fun, after all).

There is absolutely no reason to enable the SMI patch with an Atom board.

Hi gera229

Somehow your last post got orphaned into a separate thread with the same title

Re which sim to choose, need to read

http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.5/html/ Getting Started section

I think this thread has run its course now

If you have specific questions, choose the most appropriate section heading and post it and we will be happy to answer them

regards
