[Emc-users] Software stepgen through Mesa GPIO pins
Hello! I have a question: How can I do software step generation and export it through gpio pins on 5i23? Is this correct approach? addf stepgen.make-pulses base-thread net 1step stepgen.0.step hm2_5i20.0.gpio.00m net 1dir stepgen.0.dir hm2_5i20.0.gpio.00n I have a suspicion that something is missing for the gpio pins to change their state at the base-thread rate.

You will need to add the hm2_5i23.0.write_gpio function to the base thread (and you will need a base thread) -- atp The idea that there is no such thing as objective truth is, quite simply, wrong. -- RSA(R) Conference 2012 Mar 27 - Feb 2 Save $400 by Jan. 27 Register now! http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev2 ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users

I have a question: How can I do software step generation and export it through gpio pins on 5i23? Why do you want to do this? Because the machine has 3 servo motors to be controlled by 7i39 card and also 2 stepper motors. Ideal solution would be modifying 5i23 firmware for 7i39 card to add stepgens, but I have no skill to do that by myself. Can anyone help me out on this? Usually Peter helped me out on such situations (which added lots of bonus points to my evaluation of their customer service and my loyalty), I asked him, but it seems that he is too busy this time. I have to go to client's site day after tomorrow and now I am figuring out all the possible ways to get machine working.
