There is no pidtest file for the hostmot2 driver, and unless you changed all the names in the m5i20_pidtest.hal file, it's still loading the m5i20 driver. Unfortunately, 2.2.x doesn't have any good hostmot2 samples to look at. You may want to download one of them from the CVS server to see how the watchdog has to be kept happy. You can download via the web at http://cvs.linuxcnc.org/cvs/emc2/configs/ - just go to the directory you want and there will be a "download this directory as a tarball" link at the bottom of the page. That said, it shouldn't be the hostmot driver changes that are making things hard for you, since you aren't using it ;) I think you said earlier that you get DAC output (in response to John K's suggestions). Did you mean that you can see physical output with a scope/meter, that you can see the dac-xx-value pins changing, or ??? >Just as an aside: >When I fire up axis and home and then try jogging the velocity shows >while I have the mouse down and then goes to zero when I let up.
