Gentlemen, 1. open two shells 2. type em2-trunk-sim/scripts/emc-environment in each shell 3. in the first shell start gdb gdb rtapi_app 4. at the gdb prompt b kinematicsForward 5. answer 'y' to the question 6. at the gdb prompt run 7. start emc2 in the second shell emc2-trunk-sim/scripts/emc emc starts and the model display starts - emc is frozen at this point 8. in the first shell gdb is showing messages and a prompt - the program has stopped at the break point 9. the gdb commands work ie next, step, etc - info locals shows the variables of the kinematicsForward function 10. at the gdb prompt type continue - gdb prompt does not return 11. emc becomes unfrozen and the axis display is now on the screen 12. in the axis display - estop inverts when pressed (all commands are very slow) 13. in the axis display - machine on inverts - the display shows the machine to be started - ready to move 14. the home button inverts when pressed - homing begins and completes as expected 15. switch to mdi. input motion commands - the machine moves as expected 16. hit control-c in the first shell - gdb prompt is returned 17. I am stuck at this point - I get no more motion from axis - I can type commands into gdb (I think the gdb response is logical) I have tried several things at this point - none successful ( the commands are effective in that I am finding ways it doesn't work) :) the axis display will respond to mouse clicks and keyboard input - machine does not respond in the gdb shell enable 2 - is accepted - gdb prompt is returned run - is accepted - the response is a question asking if I want to restart the program no is accepted - no response - the gdb prompt is returned info locals is accepted - the response is 'no variable defined' - the gdb prompt is returned yes is accepted - the response is a message 'Restarting program: ...' 'Error in resetting breakpoint 2' 'Function "kinematicsForward" not defined' after nine repeats of the messages - the gdb prompt is not returned 18. suggestions are welcome thanks Stuart
