Hi Mark, nice to hear from you! I happen to have a GS2 from Automation Direct running the spindle on my Bridgeport, so i may be able to help with this. > halcmd: loadusr -Wn vfd gs2_vfd -r 9600 -p none -s 2 -n vfd > failed to set register P0x0101 to 0x0064 (100): Connection timed out > <stdin>:6: gs2_vfd exited without becoming ready > > I did try issuing the command w/ the -g option, but that didn't seem to work > halcmd: loadusr -Wn vfd gs2_vfd -g -r 9600 -p none -s 2 -n vfd > gs2_vfd: invalid option -- 'g' > Usage: gs2_vfd [options] Whoops, that sure sounds like a little bug in the driver, hold on a sec... Ah, i see it, fix pushed. Thanks for the bug report. But that bug is not what's responsible for all the "Connection timed out" problems that are the real issue here. > Here I set the serial port directly: > halcmd: loadusr -Wn vfd gs2_vfd -r 9600 -p none -s 2 -n vfdvfd: > device='/dev/ttyS0', baud=9600, parity='N', bits=8, stopbits=2, address=1 > failed to set register P0x0101 to 0x0064 (100): Connection timed out > <stdin>:6: gs2_vfd exited without becoming ready If these serial parameters truly match what the GS2 is configured for, then this command line looks right and it looks like you have a wiring problem. .... Aaaand i see you fixed it. Great!
