I think that Steve was right about -written in Martian. Yes I did read Integrators Manual first time in 2006 but I never saw implementation – take this part – change to this and you will get this – and this is working.
I remember Ray Henry show something at work shop but than time I was busy learning tuning ac servo motors. Some idea—when I want to buy any book, first thing I check –from author—to who he/she designate this book. It can be just a beginner with no experience, it can be semi experienced individual or for guru. Question is to who designated Integrators Manual? Yes it is Linux however it is also CNC. CNC means people from machine shop that interesting in new technology and doing something to learn it. I did build with EMC2 working 3 axis CNC mill – it is working since 2008. Point is that there is need in better delivery LinuxCNC to the final/end user. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// About – 1) Make sure that there is a spare encoder counter, find the relevant line in the HAL file and change it: loadrt hm2_pci config="....num_encoders=4......" -HAL file – is this file m5i20_motion.hal ? Direction to it – Places>Desktop>emc2>configs>5i20>m5i20_motion.hal? /////////////////////////////////// At the beginning of this file, if it right one—loadrt hal_m5i20 ………………. Maybe instead “change” need add loadrt hm2_pci config="....num_encoders=4......" ??? also - i use 7i33 which is for 4 axis. in that file only xyz axis so i need to add 4 axis ?
