Hi, Background: I'm building a CNC Lathe (see video here <https://youtu.be/bn6DsqG35MU>), I use ClearPath motors to control Z&X axis and the spindle. Those motors can be configured to give torque feedback by outputting a PWM signal. I want to be able to read the torque info within Machinekit in real time so I could display it but also take actions like trigger emergency stop if the torque goes above certain threshold.
I have started digging in the machinekit PRU code to develop some module to read a PWM signal. I'm not stuck and I'm confident I will eventually manage to do all what I want but if some have already work with the PRU they might have some answer to those question that would save me quite some time: - Is there some (simple) way to test the PRU binary (pru_generic.bin) separately before&without doing the integration in Machinekit? (like some script that configure the PRU/RAM shared memory the same way as the hal_pru_generic driver does?) - Is there some (simple) way to build&test the hal_pru_generic driver only without (re)compiling the all machinekit?
