[Emc-users] hal_pi_gpio config string

2021-02-09 Thread Thomas J Powderly
I have been working on a new version of hal_pi_gpio. It uses an array of structures to hold the features for each pin. struct pinfo {     hal_bit_t pval;    // the last read value for inputs, the desired output value for outputs     char pnum;   // the rpi header pin number     char

Point was to not let the current arrangement of equipment drive the selection of what new mill you can buy because for not a lot of money you can have the current arrangement of equipment changed. I'd guess the labor cost in rural Indiana is less than here in So Cal. If you are looking to get

Quick question. There's a multi-axis operation in progress. For whatever reason one of the servos throws out a fault and of course stops. Should just the enables to the other servo drives be removed or should power be cut to all drives. I'm not really in favour of dropping out power because t
