Gentlemen, I had read the manual about the axis.N.index-enable. I had tried these commands. I am working with my Z axis as this is the easiest to reach.
############################### linkpp axis.2.index-enable ppmc.0.encoder.02.index this gives me the error as follows HAL: ERROR: signal 'axis.2.index-enable' already has output or I/O pin(s)HAL:14: linkpp failed halshow shows the axis.2.index-enable pin connected to axis.2.index-enable halshow shows nothing connected to ppmc.0.encoder.02.index ############################### linksp Zindex axis.2.index-enable linksp Zindex ppmc.0.encoder.02.index this gives me the error as follows HAL: ERROR: signal 'Zindex' already has output or I/O pin(s)HAL:21: link failed the first command is successfull and halshow shows the axis.2.index-enable pin connected to Zindex. The next command fails, gives me the error feedback and doesn't connect ############################### linksp Zindex ppmc.0.encoder.02.index linksp Zindex axis.2.index-enable this gives the error as follows HAL: ERROR: signal 'Zindex' already has output pinHAL:21: link failed the first command is successful and halshow shows the ppmc.0.encoder.02.index pin connected to Zindex. The next command fails, gives me the error feedback and doesn't connect reversing the second command to "linkps axis.2.index-enable Zindex" gives me the error HAL: ERROR: signal 'Zindex' already has output pinHAL:28: link failed ############################### I restarted EMC between each test to make sure I had no carry over and I have been unable to find a combination that works. Maybe I should have asked this question more specifically the first time but I thought I was missing something and didn't want to lead the answer to the conclusion. What am I missing, besides gray matter and a clue? :) thanks Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
