Greetings all, I recently "inherited" a little Smithy 622 CNC mill that had already been converted to LinuxCNC.
The machine has BLDC servos on the X and Y (run by the 7i39 on P1 of the 5i20), a spindle encoder and analog drive (run from the 7i33TA on P2 of the 5i20), and a stepper for the Z-axis (run along with the field I/O from the Opto22 board on P3 of the 5i20). Before tonight, everything was working great. So, naturally, I had to mess with it. The PC was running 2.5 on Ubuntu 10, so I decided to reload the machine with a clean LinuxCNC 2.7/Debian Wheezy install (from the .iso). After the install, I copied over the (previously) working ini/hal config files (attached). But, now when I try to start up LinuxCNC, I get an error that the hm2_5i20.0.stepgen.00.enable pin cannot be found. >From what I can tell, even though the config is calling for 3 encoders, 2 3-phase PWMs, 1 regular PWM, and 1 stepgen, only the encoders and 3-phase PWMs are getting created. The only thing I can think of is that the previous owner was using a modified version of the SVTP6_7I39.BIT firmware that allowed for the creation of stepgens and regular pwmgens. Sadly, I did not think to back up the firmware folder before wiping the old install. Am I missing something, or do I need some sort of custom firmware file? -Chris
