This is 5i20 only not hm2. My hope was that is would be mature enough to run right of of the box. Apparently I've been smoking the wrong stuff. ;-) With the axis gui and halmeter running I get output on Xoutput and m5i20.0.dac-00-value when I come out of estop but no output to the servo amp. Homing is set for no switches or index. The watchdog stuff is in the configs but is commented out. Uncommenting it gives errors. BTW- I'm using the pinouts in the 7i33 manual assuming they are right and Aout0 on pin 11 (ref to gnd) and Aout1 on pin 25 is correct. The encoders inputs on the same board work so the interconnecting cable is correct. What I really miss is something similar to stgdiag which allows one to read the raw encoders and set dac voltages without having to fight the watchdog. Rather than just moan and groan here are the lines in the hal file and the emc2 output. In m5i20_io.hal # Connect watchdog reset to motion controller. newsig WatchdogRst bit linksp WatchdogRst <= m5i20.watchdog-reset linksp WatchdogRst => motion.watchdog-reset-out EMC2 - 2.3.0~beta2~pre Machine configuration directory is '/home/dave/emc2/configs/m5i20' Machine configuration file is 'm5i20.ini' Starting EMC2... HAL: ERROR: pin 'm5i20.watchdog-reset' not found m5i20_io.hal:80: link failed So what do I need to add and where to make this fly.
