In this particular case, I've hit a wall Andy, First dmesg is the only tool in the box that connects a gpio to a bob pin. I don't have any control over where it puts a pwmgen when I config it for one, required because thats how I control 2 of Jon's Pico PWM-Servo's which I am using for spindle control of 2 PMDC spindle motors. Set for output_type=1, it shows in 025-026-027 as speed in pwm, not-enable, and dir in that same order. But dir is not getting to 5i25.gpio.027. A show stopper. The other spindle controls in the 7i76, don't show up anyplace in the hal meter menu's or in show-pin's. Don't have a vfd, so I don't need the D-A convertors in the 7i76, just these 3 below, And this IS a show stopper as the 7i76 has no pwmgen capability. >From show pins: 5i25 P2-5, works bit OUT FALSE hm2_5i25.0.gpio.025.in PWMGEN.0.pdm out bit OUT TRUE hm2_5i25.0.gpio.025.in_not 5i25 P2-6, works bit OUT TRUE hm2_5i25.0.gpio.026.in PWMGEN not-enable bit OUT FALSE hm2_5i25.0.gpio.026.in_not 5i25 P2-7, no signal here except in the halui stanza, direction shows there in a halmeter. bit OUT FALSE hm2_5i25.0.gpio.027.in PWMGEN dir output bit OUT TRUE hm2_5i25.0.gpio.027.in_not IF output_type=1, which it is, but its not getting to that gpio or any other one either. why?? 5i25 Firmware bug? Its 5i25_7i76_7i78 firmware in it, and verified. -- Cheers, Andy, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
