Hello good people of the forum. I am currently doing a project creating a five-axis CNC machine utilizing Stepper motors.I'm trying to use the BeagleBone Black revC with the Probotix PBX-BB rev 5.2 cape. I have seen that people have had success with the older versions of the PXB-BB but the gpio ports have been changed around. So I will have to either modify/write my own config files.
>From examples I have seen, I do not understand how the gpio pin assignment is linked to the Gpio inputs that the cape is set up for. Are there any guides in assigning the gpio pins so they correspond to the location that my cape is asking for? When looking at the Novamill hal file <https://github.com/abopen/cnc-configs/blob/7ca4df21eac33243ac683c0ff4290ec45483ebc8/Novamill/Novamill0.hal%20when%20looking%20at%20the%20this%20hal%20file%20the%20direction%20pin%20is%20set%20to%20149%20I%20understand%20the%20100%20refers%20to%20P8%20but%20there%20are%20only%2046%20pins%20so%20how%20can%20the%20direction%20pin%20be%20set%20to%2049,%20If%20someone%20could%20shed%20light%20on%20how%20the%20pin%20designation%20is%20connected%20to%20the%20actual%20physical%20pins%20that%20would%20be%20most%20helpful> the direction pin is set to 149 I understand the 100 refers to P8 but there are only 46 pins so how can the direction pin be set to 49? If someone could shed light on how the pin designation is connected to the actual physical pins that would be most helpful! I am also having trouble with the root folder password, Debian is telling me the default password is blank but this seems to not be true. I have tried the "machinekit" as well but no success I have: bone-debian-9.11-Machinekit-ArmHF-2019-12-16-4gb.img installed on my EEMC -- 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.
