Thanks Andy, I have power to the board and field io. Both of the orange LEDs are on.
I tried your suggestion. As I suspected it was not just the one error. I commented that first line out. The result was then that hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spinout-maxlim was missing. So I commented that out and then hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spinout-scalemax was missing. So I commented out that line and then hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spinout was missing. So I commented that out and then hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spinena was missing. So I commented that out and then hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spindir was missing. So I commented that out. So the lines were: setp hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spinout-minlim [SPINDLE_9]OUTPUT_MIN_LIMIT setp hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spinout-maxlim [SPINDLE_9]OUTPUT_MAX_LIMIT setp hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spinout-scalemax [SPINDLE_9]OUTPUT_SCALE net spindle-output => hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spinout net spindle-enable => hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spinena net spindle-ccw => hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spindir I think the long and short is that something is broken in pncconf. So I need to know what the pins are really supposed to be and it would be nice if pncconf got fixed so that I wouldn’t have to hand edit the file every time I run pncconf on it. Don’t get me wrong Chris has done a great job on pncconf so far and this is a relatively small problem in the grand scope of things. So for now, how do I figure out what the pin names should be?
