I had modified my configuration files to make gmoccapy happy but it appears that there are still incompatibilities and do not wish to spend more time on. The last update was here https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/commit/df4b3b68aa1c9a64e62096350afdf9eb6d09e05c#diff-489f43a022a37a46dc11a435ee80955b where the author updated to the same state as the then current Linuxcnc version. To get this 'up to date' would require someone who was interested in using it and spending the time removing joints-axes stuff before merging into machinekit. I personally don't use it, as it adds nothing in terms of functionality and visually reminds me of awful early KDE programs, with their big clunky picture icon push buttons, where a simple word to denote its use would suffice.  But that is just my taste. I used my Mesa 7I80 flash development boards along with HAL show, and tested each I/O pin individually. I was able to verify that all 72 i/o pins were being read correctly. So my linuxcnc Mesa flashed configuration is indeed fully compatible with Machinekit. I also wired in several TTL shaft angle encoders into the X and Y flashed encoder inputs and verified that position data was being read correctly.. Good, that all seems to be OK.  There should have been no reason why a valid bitfile would have rendered the board unusable with machinekit. The old gmoccapy version is causing to many issues for me so I will need to switch to an up to date remote gui for testing and further development work. I will start digging for information on the best way to do that. The remote Gui will be run on a Window 7 box. I am confused by your use of 'remote'.  Gmoccapy is not a remote GUI, but you were using it.  Are you just referring to accessing the controller machine remotely from another computer? Or are you intending to use an actual remote interface via a loader and machinetalk, like Alex's Machineface or Cetus? -- 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.
