[Emc-users] Need some help - Stepper Mode 2 - HAL

2008-01-23 Thread jcombs
I am new to this, and need some help. I am trying to setup a three axis mill using stepper motors and a parallel port to output the motor phases. I have used the step wizard and that works but it defaults to mode 0 (step- direction). When I change to mode 2 (Phase A/B), I get HAL errors. I

Yep, I do get the real time errors. I have fixed most of the obvious ones. I have my setup at home and for some strange reason my E-Mails from home get bounced back immediately from the list server although I am getting output from the server (different problem). I will grab one of the error

Hope posting this does not offend anyone, but here is the .hal file edited. I commented out the old mode 0 lines and added in the mode 2 lines based on my interpretation of the section 7 HAL documentation. Is there some other file that I need to change or are all my troubles in these changes? I

[Emc-users] Python Component Loading

2008-01-23 Thread Kirk Wallace
I am interested in the serial port features available in Python. The documentation shows how to make a Python component, and run it from the halrun command, but not how to run it in EMC. Do you just use loadrt My_Python_component count=X like the Comp components? The Python component is a

Yes, except that they wouldn't be RT modules, they'd be userspace. So you'd use loadusr instead of loadrt - Steve Kirk Wallace wrote: I am interested in the serial port features available in Python. The documentation shows how to make a Python component, and run it from the halrun command, but

In my interface between the Arduino board and HAL, the first line of the sample hal file is loadusr -W arduino /dev/ttyUSB0 3 this runs the python script (which is actually at /home/jepler/bin/arduino on my particular system) as a userspace component. Python programs aren't ever realtime
