Re: [Machinekit] 5i25 hostmot2 problem

If you run the hm2_stepper sim you should see position-fb updated when you jog, as per screen shot. Does that work? Your test does not run newthread servo-thread cpu=0 1000000 is asking for a new thread called servo-thread, of a period cpu=0 Next the hm2_pci config string loadrt hm2_pci config="num_mencoders=0 num_stepgens=5 num_pwmgens=1" AFAIK has not been used for some while and will also not run hence https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/blob/master/configs/hm2-stepper/5i25.ini#L11 https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/blob/master/configs/hm2-stepper/hm2-stepper-5i25.hal#L44 the configuration is whatever the 5i25 is flashed as. All of which raises the question of what you are running and on what platform. On a recent pull of machinekit on a amd64 computer running Jessie, the 5i25 works fine, I have used my 5i25/7i76 combo a lot just recently.

Notice that after the position-cmd is set, position-fb has not changed. The firmware on the 5i25 is 5i25_7i85sspx2 Thanks,    Curt On Saturday, January 28, 2017 at 2:43:18 AM UTC-5, Schooner wrote: Without seeing your configuration files, we cannot even begin to guess. If you have done the same as John Fairbanks on the 7i80 post, you may have omitted the trajectory planner loadrt tp after trivkins or whatever is loaded and not specified tp=tp kins=trivkins at the end of the motmod configuration line These are specific to Machinekit and without them your config will act more like a sim. See the sample configs for using 5i25 with Machinekit https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/blob/master/configs/hm2-stepper/hm2-stepper-5i25.hal#L33 regards On 27/01/2017 22:07, Curtis Dutton wrote: I'm experimenting with running my laser engraver with machinekit. Currently I'm running linuxcnc master and have it set up and operating properly. The trouble I'm having is that my stepgens and my pwmgen doesn't seem to be working properly. The signals are all wired up properly, I have my threads scheduled properly etc.... The stepgen shows it is enabled. Anyhow when I send my position command to the stepgen nothing seems to happen The position-feedback from the stepgen does not change. I also have a 7I84 hooked up to the 5i25 through sserial. All of those pins show up in hal so communication is working properly there. I can set pins on the 7i84 interface and have physically verified that they are changing properly. It looks like the 5i25 is not responding even though it works properly under linuxcnc. Any suggesstions on what could be going on? Any tips or things I should do to debug this?
