Hello, all,
I have a user who can't get spindle speed to work. He says he is
using 2.7.0 and my USC/UPC boards with the 8-bit spindle DAC board.
The user sent his computer to me, and I have discovered what looks like
it could be considered a bug. He had a parameter in the loadrt line
like this:
loadrt hal_ppmc extradac = 0x00
this caused a parameter extradac not found error from hal.
The correct syntax that works is :
loadrt hal_ppmc extradac=0x00 (note - no spaces between extradac and
the 0x00). Is this a known issue in loadrt parameters, and would it be
easy to fix?
I am not sure this behavior can be tested without Pico Systems hardware,
but it seems to be something intrinsic to the hal command interpreter,
so it is likely to affect most loadrt commands.
Anybody else run into this one?
Thanks,
Jon
I have now faint memories of something very like that quite a while
back, but I fixed it by removing the spaces and have since 99% forgot
about it. Yonks ago.
2.7.x is quite elderly now, no idea if master still does that. I just
checked 2 of my machines, no spaces anyplace in a names= or count= of a
loadrt line. Is that a specific hal_ppmc option? No man page for it.
