I have Machinekit running now as a run in place with no error but having issues correctly addressing pins in my Mesa 7i80HD-25 board.
To help resolve this problem I have attached my custom PIN_CNC1_V1_72.vhd file which is human readable. My install of Machinekit is a cloned install from git hub and to be used for development work on Debian 9.4 Stretch. In searching for info I read this: From: http://www.machinekit.io/docs/drivers/hostmot2/#pin-files ========= PIN Files "The default pinout is described in a .PIN file (human-readable text). When you install a firmware package the .PIN files are installed in /usr/share/doc/hostmot2-firmware-<board>/" Firmware The selected firmware (.BIT file) and configuration is uploaded from the PC motherboard to the Mesa mothercard on Machinekit startup. If you are using Run In Place, you must still install a hostmot2-firmware-<board> package. There is more information about firmware and configuration in the 'Configurations' section. ======== I don't understand: "If you are using Run In Place, you must still install a hostmot2-firmware-<board> package." Not sure if this would also apply to Ethernet connected boards. >From this it appears that I may need to satisfy the above requirement, but have no information on how to do that. "My board package" is a Mesa 7i80HD which is installed in a milling machine, has been flashed with my custom .pin file, has IP address 10.10.10.2, and works fine with LCNC. Machinekit connects to the board but does not address the boards pins correctly. I did notice that the hm2_eth.c and hm2_eth.h driver in Machinekit are different from the LCNC version so I assume that Machinekit may handle or reading the boards configuration differently, or that the drivers may just be different versions. I have a second development 7i80HD-25 board with IP 10.10.10.3 with three associated pin-out/protection boards. I'm stuck on proceeding to develop on Machinekit until I'm able to fix this problem. I have searched for more info but have not run into anything useful yet I have attached a copy of the .vhd file in case somebody can point me in the right direction. -- 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.
