Very interesting. I have been fighting with a following error that I get for
no apparent reason. I thought for a while that my ways were sticking or
something. For me it happens mostly on my X axis but sometimes on my Z as
well. It is sporadic and when it errors, I have to try turning on (clicking
the on button in Axis) and moving the axis with my joystick controller. It
faults, lather, rinse, repeat. It usually take 5-10 times of this before I
happen to be able to move again and then everything is fine. Sometimes it
doesn't happen for days and other times it happens 4-5 times a day. I don't
yet have limit switches on my machine and I thought it was because I was
stopping each axis too close to the end of the screw so I started backing off
more and more but this didn't help.
So, are you saying that in my .hal file where I have:loadrt [EMCMOT]EMCMOT
base_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]BASE_PERIOD servo_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]SERVO_PERIOD
num_joints=[TRAJ]AXES
I can just have:loadrt servo_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]SERVO_PERIOD
num_joints=[TRAJ]AXES
? I am using Mesa cards, by the way...-Tom
If you are not using the base period for anything yes.
please let me know if this helps at all.
The problem with following error after resetting EMC is a separate issue and I
believe
has been resolved and will be in a upcoming bug fix release.
