Hello Eric For some reason I did not have my GPIO I/O pins set correctly in my HAL file, when I corrected that problem the "net motion.spindle-forward=>hm2-5i23.o.gpio.042.out" worked just fine. When you use Motion for spindle control the GUI automatically appears in AXIS. Cool! Thank you fo

Hello Eric I have two more questions Do have any idea which soft pin link to M3 and M4 for spindle rotation. I currently have aVFD set up to recive inputs for cw and ccw rotation. I see there are two types of soft pins (Halui and Motion) and I tried both with no success.These are the signals

Hello Eric I am sorry for the confusion but I am using pin 37 or gpio42. Being new to emc2, I didn't realize what the GPIO 42 parameter would do. With your direction I read on page 147 of the Integrators Manual I need to set parameter "in-out" to 1 to make it an output. Then I can force ".out"

Hello everyone I am having a problem using outputs on my mesa 7i37 I/O card. The card is used in conjunction with a 5i23 FPGA card. I am using the HOSTMOT2 configuration. I intend on using the outputs on the 7i37 to turn my VFD on but I am having a hard time forcing the physical pin to 1 in EMC

Hello The positive direction on my z axis is opposite from what the controller shows. I have been told I have two options to get the controller to view the proper direction. The first is to swap the A and B sig. from the encoder as well as switch the analog outputs from the 7i33T card to the se
