Hi,

I have a 7i43(big) emc 2.3.2 and currently one dc motor with an encoder 
which I am using for testing...
My problem is that when starting enc and using the jogg function in the 
interface I get the famous "join following error" for Y and Z (something 
which is normal since they are not connected) but also for X so it seems 
I am missing something but I have no idea what .....

the hostmod2 module loads fine.

I am using the example for 7i43(big) in emc and I havent changed 
anything yet.

I know my encoder works and I connected A, B and IDX
I connect PWM and DIR. "PWM Enable" is not connected, I suppose it is 
only needed for some special motor controllers.

after starting the interface I click the the emergency stop, then the 
machine power icon, then I choose "manual control" and I click on the + 
or - of the interface for the X axis

When I monitor the IO using a real oscilloscope I see ... nothing.. Even 
  the DIR io does not change depending if I click on the + or - of the 
emc interface, absolutely no PWM is emited from the board .... so I do 
not get how emc can say that the join is not following when it does not 
even try to emit a PWM signal ...

Do I need to connect something else ? is emc expected another IO signal 
? any idea is welcome

Thanks

Regards,
Olivier
