--One other question: Did you make a new config directory, with new files --when you installed 2.5.4? Or are you still using the configuration from ----2.2.4? ............ i did explain that...... i did load 2.5.4 and switches do not work! I did use 2.2.4 as a live CD without installation and all switches do work . any more question about configuration?
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, about --English is not your first language--- i do not see difference between 1 st or 2nd one what i can not see it is clear instruction/direction: step 1 - 2... n what is result? etc , what to check in Hal Meter? which file? where -- pins- signals--parameters-- ? i will do that but i need clear direction to i can be clear about result/outcome. ................................................ I did many times ask question but i can not see the answer. why all switches working good on emc2 --- 2.2.4/2.2.5 and do not work on emc2--2.5 ? why nobody answer that question? do not need to see my machine. obvious problem with 2.5 /////////////////// If one do not see the problem with 2.5, than my clear question is who else use 5i20 /7i33/7i37 with emc2---2.5? just want to know answer my question is simple and clear. //////////// Here is most important point and please!!! Attention here!!!!! when i use emc2 -- - 2.2.4/2.2.5 all LED lights on board 5i20 are ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and when i use emc2---2.5 NONE of the LED light on 5i20 are ON !!!!!!!!!!!! does that show clear that problem in 2.5!!!!! to be clear: problem in emc2---2.5 for 5i20!!!!!!!!!!!! and not in my machine? ?//////// i want to ask again ------who else use 5i20 /7i33/7i37 with emc2-----2.5? thank you aram On Sat, Jul 12, 2014 at 7:49 PM, Gene Heskett <ghesk...@wdtv.com> wrote: > On Saturday 12 July 2014 22:20:01 a k did opine > > > i think that before homing machine does not know where it is. machine > > move to direction of home and after touch home switch it knows where > > it is. it -- about of moving of machine -- > > i have simple 3 axis mill - and loaded new emc2 from web today. > > the point/question is ---- why switches working with emc2 --2.2.4 and > > these same switches does not working with emc2---2.5.4 > > ?? > > how to identify and find that problem? > > hal meter has many things > > which file do i need to check to find problem ? > > maybe i did --- found a bug--- > > how to prof that? > > > > thanks > > aram > > You are either not familiar with the machine, not having done the original > install, or are not doing as I suggested.
