Well, I found that my port was set to PS/2 mode. Changing it to EPP mode, though didn't help. I'm getting continuous errors on the comm test. The middle byte of each group of three always has the value '20'.
So, I ran the encoder test. That seems to work OK. Aha, I said. Now I can try to make the whole thing work. So... I started with the univpwm configuration. I edited in the PID, limit, homing, and other parameters from my EMC1 (BDI) configuration. Started it running and... Up pops the error window. Well, I changed the number of axes to three and hal didn't like some missing signals. BTW: the error message seems to have an off by one error. It says line 23 for an error on the 24th line of the file. So, after some editing, I tried again. This time it didn't like the fact that some of the .ini parameters used to have two values and now apparently have one. (One of the LIMIT -- I think -- parameters used to say 10000.0 0 and now just says 10000.0). I fixed that and... Up pops the splash screen and nothing else. So, I run the thing in a terminal and get: ========================== EMC2 - 2.2.5 Machine configuration directory is '/home/lerman/emc2/configs/univpwm' Machine configuration file is 'univpwm.ini' Starting EMC2... emcTrajSetAxes failing: axes=3 axismask=f emcTrajSetAxes failing: axes=3 axismask=f emcTrajSetAxes failing: axes=3 axismask=f emcTrajSetAxes failing: axes=3 axismask=f emcTrajSetAxes failing: axes=3 axismask=f emcTrajSetAxes failing: axes=3 axismask=f emcTrajSetAxes failing: axes=3 axismask=f emcTrajSetAxes failing: axes=3 axismask=f emcTrajSetAxes failing: axes=3 axismask=f emcTrajSetAxes failing: axes=3 axismask=f emc/task/emctaskmain.cc 2605: can't initialize motion emc/usr_intf/emcsh.cc 3813: can't connect to emc Shutting down and cleaning up EMC2... Cleanup done ======================== I assume more info might be useful to see my configuration. That's available at: http://www.se-ltd.com/~lerman/files/FromShopEMC/ I'm assuming that it is a PICNIC problem) Problem In Chair; Not In Computer. And it might help to RTFM. But help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
