Hi everyone, I'm working on creating the hal file for the system using the 7i92H connected to the parallel port based PMDX-126 Break Out Board. I have LinuxCNC running with a parallel port so the hardware is good.
Rather than stand in the shop I have a second office PC with an Wheezy version of Linux on it. I can ping the 7i92H so it's visible to the OS. But when I run LinuxCNC with the new hal file that has this line: loadrt hm2_eth board_ip="192.168.1.121" config=" num_encoders=0 num_pwmgens=0 num_stepgens=5" It complains that it can't find "hm2_eth". The Shop PC can also connect to 7i92H and when I run a hal file that has the above line it doesn't have any trouble. I guess I could install the newer LinuxCNC on the office PC but I'm curious more than troubled. And I'd rather work in my office at my bench where I have 4 trace scope, agilent pulse generator and some BoB's to be able to simulate and work out the details before I connect to real hardware. It's where my PC is with all the reference documents etc. The one in the shop isn't even connected to the internet at the moment. So what's the best route? Correct answer is probably upgrade the PC. But if it can't find it either then I'm really no further ahead. So I'd rather know the why...
