Re: [Machinekit] Mesa 7I80 ethernet board issue
I was able to get my configuration working by adding loadrt tp (not sure what that does), and changing some joints to axis names, and also modifying some gmoccapy pin names from the newer 5 axis version that I was using with linuxcnc to the 4 axis version of gmoccapy that comes with machinekit. The milling machine moves but will need some additional fine tuning to get all functions working. Right now I wish to proceed to try to link up to machinekit via a TCP link with some manual commands.So I will need to do some research on the format required by machinekit so it understands the commands being sent over the network link and be able to decode and display the information received back.. -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.

Re: [Machinekit] Mesa 7I80 ethernet board issue
Thanks for your inputs. I will have a chance to do little more testing this weekend. I recall that I did have to reflash the 7i80 board a while back to get it to work with a newer version of linuxcnc-dev around the time when there was a change in the distinction between joints and axis. I will post the debug error messages when I'm able to get back to the project this weekend.

Under the original configuration using linuxcnc all works just fine, but with machinekit there appears to be no communications path to the Mesa 7i80 card. Build a RIP of linuxcnc on the same machine and try running with that. That will immediately remove any OS specific problems from the equation, if it works. When my .hal file attempts to read line 35, ‘addf hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.read servo thread’ it errors out. I assume that this is likely caused by not being able to use the uspace option during the build process The uspace thing was just jeplers way of enabling linuxcnc to run on rt-preempt, as machinekit had been doing for years. Try the debug print as Bas suggested which makes me suspect that I’m missing a configuration step to get that process going. Anyone have any info on how this needs to be done?

Before starting in the terminal do "export DEBUG=5" and after that start machinekit. Then when the error occurs, get the session from /var/log/linuxcnc.log Then look if there's some more information in there. Then copy and paste that into pastebin.com (entire session) so people can have a look. -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
