Hi All, I'm setting up a machine using machinekit -> BBB -> Furaday cape -> 4xLeadshine ACS606 -> Leadshine BLM57050 NEMA23 servomotors. I'm using the Furaday-stepgen <http://www.robotise.lt/hardware-for-beaglebone/8-furaday-cape-1.html> configuration. So far I've got machinekit running and loading the configuration. Jogging produces the expected change on the DRO positions, but doesn't produce motor movement.
(The power supplies, motors and drivers have been tested via RS232 control using the Leadshine ProTuner application. They turn as expected. I don't have a way to control the motors via the pulse/direction/enable interface aside from Machinekit.) If I use halscope to look at the x axis when jogging, it shows me the expected behaviour for hpg.stepgen.00.enable and hpg.stepgen.00.position-cmd and corresponding changes to x-pos-cmd and axis.0.joint-pos-cmd. However, I don't get any motor movement and I'm not sure how to debug this. I think the physical wiring is ok, but I'm not certain how best to test this. For instance, applying +24V to the digital inputs is detected in the Watch function in the HAL configuration so the input side is fine. I'm not sure how best to test the output side apart from jogging. Clearly, something is wrong between the stepgen and the motor driver. Any pointers where next to look and how to debug this issue? -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
