[Machinekit] Machinekit on Snickerdoodle: Joint Following Error

2018-12-31 Thread Cameron McQuinn
I am trying to get MachineKit with hm2-soc running on the Snickerdoodle. So far, I have a bitstream for the FPGA and a configuration for Machinekit and for QtQuickVcp. I can launch qtquickvcp on the Snickerdoodle, and then connect to it with MachinekitClient. However, any attempt to home the sy

Hello, I can put some image on a BeagleBoard.org hardware piece. I am interested in learning more about MachineKit. I have been to their site, seen ideas, and I already have an odd board w/ a version of GRBL on it. Seth P.S. I am actually setting up a CNC now. I just posted in the Freenode s

Bas, Thanks that was the problem. I deleted the PRU pins from the "loadrt hal_gpio" statement and added a note to the comment. # load low-level drivers (must not include pins used by PRU) loadrt hal_bb_gpio output_pins=807,813,819,826,914,913,911 input_pins=809,810,814,818 I also cleaned up th

You have both the read (capture position) and update threads of the PRU driver commented in your HAL file (lines 26 & 30), effectively disabling the HAL PRU driver. On 12/31/2018 5:13 AM, Malte Schmidt wrote: > Dear all, > > I have another issue which results in joint 0 following errors. My > hy

[Machinekit] Joint following error on PRU - PRU not running?

2018-12-31 Thread Malte Schmidt
Dear all, I have another issue which results in joint 0 following errors. My hypothesis is that the PRU is not running as hal-meter shows position-cmd being input to the hpg.stepgen but position-fb stays unchanged. The cape was detected during boot. I have sucessfully used GPIO pins but the PRU

OK, it was just a thought. The 4.14 kernel seems to be problematic. There are quite a few references to problems on RPi forums as well as some on this forum, where users went back to the 4.4 or 4.9. On 31/12/18 08:17, Malte Schmidt wrote:

I changed fstab to contain UUID and uncommented uuid in uEnv.txt. I don't think this is it. Kernel boots with the commmandline containing the UUID for root. UUID set in fstab but still no improvement :-( machinekit@beaglebone:~$ uname -a Linux beaglebone 4.14.79-ti-rt-r84 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Tue
