Guys, I wrote a user space python component simulating my tool changer, it works like expected in 2.5 but it doesn't start in 2.6-pre. Actually LinuxCNC doesn't start at all. I have tested this in SIM mode with both Axis and Gmoccapy. In 2.5 it works fine with the Axis config.
This behaviour can be reproduced with the user space example from the documentation. http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/hal/halmodule.html Copy it into a text file, make it executable and add it in a HAL file with loadusr -W /path/to/your/test/file This example also works fine in 2.5 When LinuxCNC starts the component isn't treated as ready and the output is Waiting for component [your_comp] to become ready................. You can now joyfully watch the number of dots increase. Is it a defect or are there changes in user space treatment in 2.6? /Sven ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
