And its updated at the same time your LCNC install is, in my case a 2.8.0-pre1-3371 dated 10/17/2017.
And once I had stripped my hal file down to this: net x-pos-cmd <= joint.0.motor-pos-cmd => pid.x.command # desired position net x-mtr-cmd <= pid.x.output => hm2_5i25.0.stepgen.00.position-cmd net x-pos-fb <= hm2_5i25.0.stepgen.00.position-fb => pid.x.feedback joint.0.motor-pos-fb net x-enable <= joint.0.amp-enable-out => hm2_5i25.0.stepgen.00.enable pid.x.enable copy/pasted/edited for the other 2 axises, restarting linuxcnc -l and loading up enough halmeters to follow all the way thru from joint.n back to joint.n.position-fb, I find the pid's are as expected. The position is arriving at hm2_5i25.0.stepgen.nn.position-cmd just fine. But while all .enables are true, there is not a .count accumulated at the output of any stepgen, nor is there an output from any stepgens position-fb So I am still looking at an error shutdown for moving any axis more than a thou. I have 2 more cards, but will need to remove the short brackets to test them, which I'll do now that I've made some late lunch for Dee and the same but less bread for moi. They also did not work in the low profile Dell Dimension 745's. But I'll test them in this Optiplex 745 just to be sure. > --J. Ray Mitchell Jr. > jrmitche...@gmail.com > (818)324-7573 > Thanks Ray.
