Hello,can you please show me where i could find lathe example for mesa hostmot2 hal driver. Or i should just create it with mesa configuration wizzard and that would work. so for strat i only need to change hal_pru_generic and pin numbers? :) 2018 m. lapkritis 7 d., trečiadienis 17:36:57 UTC+2

The PRU HAL driver for the beaglebone is intentionally very similar to the Mesa hostmot2 HAL driver. I recommend you start with one of the Mesa lathe example configurations and swap the driver name to use the PRU. You will also need to add pin numbers, since the PRU driver can use arbitrary pins

For start it would be nice just to get steppers working, and after that begin on spindle. And i am not planning on using any capes. Maybe optocouplers or buffers for controlling motors, still haven't decided. But the biggest problem is get some config file which i could edit to my machine 2018

As Bas said, you need to modify an existing BBB config. There are a whole layer of reasons why what you did will not work. Right at the top, is that you don't have a parport (parallel port). The main reason people use the BBB, is that Charles programmed the PRU

Hi, Stepconf does not work for making a configuration for the Beaglebone. It’s easier to take an existing configuration for a Beaglebone setup and modify for your situation. Bas > On 7 Nov 2018, at 11:36, Gediminas Dirma wrote: > > Hello > > I am new to machinekit and i have some problems wi

Hello I am new to machinekit and i have some problems with stepconfig. After i setup my configuration for lathe and i start it, it doesnt work. Then i read why it stopped it says because my_lathe.hal and the line is 'setp parport.0.reset-time 5000'. Than i comment this line i can launch my con
