I just had a customer report that he is getting multiple repeats of a
message
on his Axis screen. He was running 2.4.6, I suggested he update to 2.5
but he still gets it. The line in hal_ppmc.c is :
rtapi_print_msg(RTAPI_MSG_ERR, "PPMC: Check Parallel Port connection.\n");
Well, this line should NOT be an error, as it will be produced as the driver
goes through every one of the 16 addresses possible on the EPP port to
see what board is there. Later, there is a test :
if ( boards == 0 ) {
rtapi_print_msg(RTAPI_MSG_ERR,
"PPMC: ERROR: no boards found on bus %d, port %04X\n",
busnum, port_addr[busnum] );
rv = -1;
/* skip to next bus */
continue;
}
which should produce an error if no boards at all have been detected.
So, the first message should be changed to an INFO level, but what I
don't understand
is why I didn't get these messages to print out when testing this. Has
there been a
change in the way Axis decides which messages to display on the screen?
Or is it due to some setting? The user has his DEBUG set to 0x00
in the .ini file. (Hmm, I wonder if he has TWO debug = lines in his
.ini file and only changed the 2nd one. I will ask.)
Thanks,
Jon
