I've messed with this a bit and don't have it working yet. Attached is my current hal file hacked together from PNCConf generated bits, bits from docs and manual bits (don't laugh, I'll clean it up once I get everything working). The steps are all set to 0.1 just to ensure that even if the selection isn't selecting the one I think I'd at least get visible motion. Below is the summary of the hardware configuration.
The pendant MPG is a basic 100ppr 5V MPG. I've validated it's output with my 'scope (haven't got the hang of halscope yet). It is wired with A and B outputs connected to the MESA 7i76 GPIO #16 and #17. The pendant has two 4 pos rotary switches as follows: Axis select 1 - Off - n.c. 2 - X - MESA 7i76 GPIO #20 3 - Z - MESA 7i76 GPIO #21 4 - Aux - MESA 7i76 GPIO #22 Step select 1 - 0.1 - MESA 7i76 GPIO #24 2 - 0.01 - MESA 7i76 GPIO #25 3 - 0.001 - MESA 7i76 GPIO #26 4 - 0.0001 - MESA 7i76 GPIO #27 Using halcmd show I've validated the switch inputs are working properly. Any idea what may be wrong? ------Original Mail------ From: <p...@wpnet.us> To: <emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Mon, 27 Oct 2014 16:16:15 -0500 Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Lathe conversion with Mesa 5i25 / 7i76 ------Original Mail------ From: "Peter C.

Well, I've got a direction now and a bunch of docs to read through and try to mesh. Hopefully I'll have it working this evening :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
