Gentlemen, Having the problem on 4 mpg's (three single and on diff) I am relatively sure the problem isn't hardware.
Halshow (watch) shows the encoder counts accurate and ilowpass counts are incorrect I suspect ilowpass. ilowpass is so simple it is almost impossible to see how it could be incorrect also it has run correctly on the same machine for years without problems. I blame the change that was made and that is the new operating system and the new LinuxCNC version. The hal file shows everything running on the servo thread. It is the same hal file as before. I moved the ilowpass down the list to right in front of the write statement. I have the same result. The initial direction loses a count. ppmc encoder count moves 4 each detent. ilowpass moves 3 for the first move and 4 thereafter motion reversal resyncs the counts until zero is reached reversing again loses a count again as long as zero has not been passed results as follows start machine encoder count = 0 ilowpass in = 0 ilowpass out = 0 move positive one click encoder count = 4 ilowpass in = 4 ilowpass out = 3 this relationship is maintained while moving in the same direction for as far as I moved upon motion reversal encoder count, ilowpass in, and ilowpass out are the same until I pass 0 the next click past 0 the count then becomes encoder count = -4 ilowpass in = -4 ilowpass out = -3 and it maintains this relationship until motion reversal upon motion reversal the counts are the same again until I go past zero. The same but opposite behavior depending on counts being positive or negative. all comments/suggestions welcome thanks Stuart -- Addressee is the intended audience.
