Re: [Machinekit] using hal_spi module

You are not running with DEBUG=5 Do so and your linuxcnc.log will have info as to what failed. Also as I said in my last reply, it does not look as though you have a realtime kernel, irrespective of what you have named your pi.

I don't know how to understand how to write them from the code... Maybe the module is old and has lost some compatibility? right now i am executing from Linux realtimepi 4.14.69-v7+ #1141 SMP Mon Sep 10 15:26:29 BST 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux Debian Stretch, Machinekit compiled from source maybe should I explicit the path to hal_spi? mngr -- 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.
