[Emc-users] adding 2nd parallel port
Hello, I have a port address for an additional parallel port. How do I add it? I would like to use it for a pendant. Do I add it in the standard_pinout.hal and the stepper_inch.ini? I see the EMCIO section in the .ini file. I am not finding specifics in the manual on how to do this. I am assuming the best way to integrate the pendant functions will be through HALUI. The next question is how do I mesh Halui w/ the new port? Will the new port have a structure like this "parport.1.pin-XX-out" partport.0.. already exists? I realize I will need the latest version from head to use Halui I was able to run this on one machine but not another. I will fix that once I understand how to make all the connections. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Emc-users] adding 2nd parallel port
I'm sure someone else will answer your parport question, I think you need to load two parport drivers, and tell them which parport to connect to. you will get HAL pins parport.0.xxx and parport.1.xxx > I am assuming the best way to integrate the pendant functions will be > through HALUI. you might be interested in my notes from a while back: http://www.anderswallin.net/2006/11/jogging-emc2/ the connections to halui and emc would be similar for a parport based jogwheel/pendant, but the hardware pins would of course be named differently.

Re: [Emc-users] adding 2nd parallel port
Anders, Thanks, that's good info. After looking at the HAL_Documentation again... The answer to my question on adding a second port jumped out at me. I don't know how I missed it many times before. It looks like I want to do this: (add this to my standard_pinout.hal file) loadrt hal_parport cfg="myport#_0 myport#_1 in" My first port will be defaulted to an output type because I did not specify in. My second port will be an in type because I used in after the port number. Does this look right? Can I start using this port after I have done this?

Re: [Emc-users] adding 2nd parallel port
Hi Mike Looks like you got it. The test here changes parport.1 to all in except pins 1, 14,16,17. If you are using this configuration inside emc you can see and manipulate the pins using halshow.

The space works okay here. This is with HEAD, a mobo parport at 0x378, and a PCI parport at 0xc000. Good to know that spaces are not always acceptable. I'll salt that away for when I get a system that fails for some strange reason. Rayh - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Emc-users] adding 2nd parallel port
Steve, Thanks My next step is to create a .hal file (I believe) that makes the connections to hal and halui. I have a couple questions about this. Looking at Anders work, it looks like he has a single file w/ both regular hal and halui connections, that get called from the .ini file using Halfile = XXX.hal. I would like to do the same. I have a decision to make on what features I want to include on my pendant because I only have 13 inputs to work w/. Well I actually have one more unused port that I could use to give me 26 inputs. I will have to come up w/ a clean way of breaking out to 2 individual parallel ports from one pendant to do this. Anyway, I think I have a handle on the normal bit type i/o. For jogging an axis I think I see a couple ways to do it: With out a jog wheel: I could have buttons that would jog in the plus or minus direction. I would have a multi-position switch to select X,Y,Z,A axis. I see in halui that i could use halui.jog. aka axis.minus and halui.jog. aka axis.plus . Because I am limited on inputs I don't want to dedicate a input for each axis + and each axis -. I would like to have a way to use the already selected axis/channel (0-3). It looks like match8 might do this but I am not completely following how it works in Anders .hal file. Also how does halui.jog..plus and minus work. Does it jog continuous when halui.jog..plus is true? I am used to if then else type programming. It looks like some of the available blocks can be used to reproduce this type of structure?

I didn't try it, but it looks like you can select a joint with halui.joint.selected and then jog it with halui.jog.selected.plus and minus. The speed is set with halui.jog-speed. If I was making a pendant I'd sure want a jogwheel instead of plus/minus buttons. It takes the same number of inputs and works much (much!) better. I have a real jogwheel but one of these days I'm going to try one of the little toy knob encoders from mouser etc - they're meant to be volume controls or something, but they might still be more useful for jogging than two buttons.

Re: [Emc-users] adding 2nd parallel port
Chris, I agree on the jogwheel. Because I currently don't have a jogwheel I am making due w/ the arrow keys on the AXIS GUI and it is working, my biggest problem is proximity to the work. I am still stuck at trying to figure out how to make a selection of the correct axis to jog w/o having a hardwired line for each selection? I will probably have to just try some things. If I have a momentary switch connected to halui.jog.selected are you thinking that it will index to a new axis as I press and release? Also looking in the Hal document I am not seeing halui.jog.selected, should i be looking somewhere? I do see halui.jog-wheel.axis but this is a u8 data type. I think the key to figuring this out is an understanding of the available blocks/functions and how to use them to create a program.

That way you save a bit of I/O. Saving would be even more with an 8-position switch, which can be represented with 3 bits. For jogging, it is best to connect the jogwheel count directly to emc's motioncontroller, as in my example: http://www.anderswallin.net/wp-content/2006_11jog/jog.hal you see that the jogwheel count is wired to axis.X.jog-counts this is a connection directly to emc's motioncontroller, and does not require halui. I think people tried physical jogwheels through halui and found that jogging was jerky, that's why jog-counts pins were added to the motioncontroller. AW - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Emc-users] adding 2nd parallel port
So, you say that is connected to EMC... does it take quadrature input? Because it should.. that is the most rotary encoders. Many mouse sensors can be programmed to use quadrature outputs. that would solve much... Also.. the enable/disable of jogging is directly in AXIS panel? (or something like that.. I did not need to jog at all, since I am running closed loop simulation/training only) On 1/10/07, Anders Wallin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Chris, > > I agree on the jogwheel.
