Sebastion (et al), I got the control working (axis motors anyway) with Peter's custom .BIT file and hostmot2! Here are a couple of questions I have so far:
1. Following Errors - When I use: axis.0.motor-pos-cmd ==> hm2_5i20.0.stepgen.00.position-cmd axis.0.motor-pos-fb <== hm2_5i20.0.stepgen.00.position-fb I get following errors at higher axis speeds. I tried: axis.0.motor-pos-fb <== hm2_5i20.0.stepgen.00.position-cmd and I don't get following errors, but the axis runs on after I let up on a jog key. The control must think we're at the end of the move already, but the 5i20 is still driving the motor to the commanded position. There are some HAL pins like axisui.jog.x, but I don't know what to do with them (I may have to RTFM). 2. This is probably a cradek/jepler question, but since I have a lathe I want just X and Z. When I do that, I get a complaint about (IIRC) "num_axes=2 but axismask=5". I'll study the existing lathe configs tomorrow for clues, but any pointers would be great! 3. The hostmot2 man page needs to be changed to reflect the switch from floats to u32s for the stepgen params. 4. I'm currently using about a 2 day old TRUNK. In case something has changed in the last couple days I'll rebuild tomorrow morning. 5.
