Yep if m5i20 works and hm2_5i20 doesn't, that's pretty conclusive :-) I dont think the pwmgen and stepgen problems are related. > BTW, what is the frequency of the PWM? The laser accepts 5-25Khz. Currently it's about 12 KHz, I think. Peter, does this sound right? It's a 5i20 so ClockHigh is 50 MHz; I set PWMGen Master Rate DDS to 65535; therefore PWM Clock should be 50 MHz too. I've hardcoded 12-bit PWM resolution for now (bottom two bits of PWM Mode are 11) so PWM rate should be 50e6/2^12 = 12207 Hz. > Here are the things posted to pastebin requested in the prior email: > > Show all: > http://pastebin.com/m6ab8b073 Thanks, this really helps. It shows that the stepgen.enable pins are set to FALSE, thus disabling the stepgen outputs. I added the .enable pin fairly recently. Try adding them to your Xen and Yen nets. > Dmesg: > http://pastebin.com/m1478cde5 Again the hm2 log messages are all missing. EMC ini gurus, is there a way to set the RTAPI debug level from an ini file? Or should I be using RTAPI_MSG_ERROR for all my output? ;-) -- Sebastian Kuzminsky Theo: "Julian?
