This is not the case on my machine for some reason. iocontrol.0.user-enable-out does not follow my estop button. My estop button does cause Axis’ estop button to toggle, as it should. I do see that iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in does follow my estop button…. -Tom -- One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
[Emc-users] charge pump start at Axis startup (if no Estop)
I am trying to get my charge pump to start up when Axis starts and the Estop button is disabled (out) but not having any luck. This page gives several variations http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?About_Charge_Pumps and says: An example is, net notEstop iocontrol.0.user-enable-out = charge-pump.enable to have the charge pump run except with an e-stop But this does not work. I can either get the charge pump to come on when I press the red On button in Axis (which is not what I want) or not come on at all. Any ideas?

It does sound like what I want. I think you want charge-pump.enable netted to iocontrol.0.user-enable-out, so that when the machine comes out of Estop, the charge-pump starts pumping. I thought I already tried that but will do it again and see... I dont understand why you're netting charge-pump.out to the stepgen enable, could that be the source of your troubles? Well, that wasn’t working but I have tried about a dozen different combinations and only the last one had that config. The charge pump component makes a square wave all by itself, you don't need a stepgen inline. Just net the charge-pump.out to a gpio. Hmm, I wonder if this is my problem. I want to use the Mesa stepgen to generate the charge pump signal. Should I not even be doing the loadrt (and addf) for the charge-pump component? But if I don’t will I still have all the charge pump signals (like charge-pump.enable and charge-pump.out)? The mesa stepgen will stop if it loses contact with Linuxcnc (via watchdog).
