I am running linuxCNC version 2.7.3.
I am trying to set up a config to use a 7i43 board with pncconf. I tried to set
up two home and limit switches (both-home-x) and (both-home-z). However, when I
look at the hal file
I get (both-home-y) and (both-home-a).
From Hal file:
# external input signals
# --- BOTH-HOME-Y ---
net both-home-y <= hm2_7i43.0.gpio.026.in
# --- BOTH-HOME-A ---
net both-home-a <= hm2_7i43.0.gpio.027.in
When I try to re-edit the file in pncconf it shows (both-home-x) and
(both-home-z). I know I can fix it be hand editing but I don’t know what else
may be going wrong that is not so obvious.
I also tried setting up X, Y and Z and got Y, Z, and A.
I think that I found the problem. I believe that in
linuxcnc/src/emc/usr_intf/pncconf/private_data.py the following:
home_limits_shared = [ _("All Limits + Home"),_("X Minimum Limit + Home"), _("Y
Minimum Limit + Home"), _("Z Minimum Limit + Home"),
_("A Minimum Limit + Home"),_("X Maximum Limit + Home"), _("Y Maximum Limit +
Home"), _("Z Maximum Limit + Home"),
_("A Maximum Limit + Home"),_("X Both Limit + Home"), _("Y Both Limit + Home"),
_("Z Both Limit + Home"),
_("A Both Limit + Home") ]
should be changed to
home_limits_shared = [ _("X Minimum Limit + Home"), _("Y Minimum Limit +
Home"), _("Z Minimum Limit + Home"),
_("A Minimum Limit + Home"),_("X Maximum Limit + Home"), _("Y Maximum Limit +
Home"), _("Z Maximum Limit + Home"),
_("A Maximum Limit + Home"),_("X Both Limit + Home"), _("Y Both Limit + Home"),
_("Z Both Limit + Home"),
_("A Both Limit + Home”), _("All Limits + Home") ]
I tried setting X minimum + home, and Z minimum + home and got y minimum + home
and a minimum + home. The other data structures all have “All Limits” at the
end of their respective arrays while “home_limits_shared” has it at the front
of the array.
I am not a python programmer so I am not positive that this is the fix.
Long prolog short questions.
Is pncconf running interpreted?
Is the python source available on the standard user install so that I can edit
it and test the change or do I need to install the developer source and run
make?
Thanks in advance,
Alan
