Jeff, I can remember discussing with you the pluto-p a few years back on EMC IRC channel. BTW do you get on there much these days?
As a sugestion it may be wise to have a caveat explaining the short comming of the pluto-p card as say a readme as part of forth comming releases. I spent a week with my head wrapped in this problem which could have been avoided ;-) Though it has taught me more about EMC than I would have learnt otherwise, so thats not such a bad thing :-) Cheers, Steve On Fri, Oct 15, 2010 at 4:00 PM, srgpip <srg...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Thanks for the replys Guys! :-) > That would explain things. > I was using the debug print commands and when moving the Y axis with 3 axis > enabled I was getting a different number return on PPDATA then I was with > the Z and X which were the same. > > Z, X returned 64511 and so did Y positive move. > Y negative returned 62463! > > Another issue could be that the pluto-p card I had was bad all along! > It wont communicate at all now with EMC. > It loads the firmware but when going into EPP mode communication fails. > The folks at fpga4fun have kindly sent out a new card which is currently in > transit. > > In the meantime I purchased a 7i43 card from Mesa which is also in transit > from the States. > > BTW The pluto-p card was connected directly to the port for all tests. > > On another note with regards to the maillist it seems I do not receive the > posts that I send but I do receive replys.
