Re: [Emc-users] pncconf error under 2.7.14
I sent my 5i25 and 7i76 into Mesa to look at. Mesa boards may be more expensive
than stuff from China, but you won’t get help from China like you do from
Peter.
Thanks,
Peter

Peter,
Now the jumpers are as follows:
5i25 W1-Down, W2-Up, W3-Up, W4-Up, and W5-Up
7i76 W1-Left, W2-Left, W3-Left, W4-Left, W5-Left and W6-Left
and the separate 5V supply is disconnected.
However, now the 5V LED is off.

I have attached the output from mesaflash. I have 4 or 5 25pin m-m cables. I
have tried 3 different ones (new out of the bag (however made in china)).
W1 is right, W3 is left. I just noticed that the 5V LED is pulsing bright then
dim about every three seconds.
Normally W1 must be in the left hand position (this is likely why its not
working)
Also sounds like you have a problem with your 5V power supply
I would jumper the 5I25 /7I76 for cable power and eliminate the external 5V
supply as a potential issue: 7I76 W2 left, 5I25 W2 UP

Peter,
I have a separate 24V 2.5amp DIN rail power supply that powers fieldIO and a
small pcb power supply (7805 plus a couple caps) that comes off of it to supply
5v power. I had the jumper in the wrong position for separate powers for field
IO and separate 5v power. I changed that jumper. I was getting both oranges
LEDs lit before and after the change, but could that have caused a problem?
Its not likely but if you supply external 5V and you have the jumpers wrong you
can possibly damage the 5I25 card or the cable (thats why theres a warning in
the manual) That said, a 7805 is not likely to have enough current to do any
real damage
I checked all the other jumpers on both boards and everything is now correct. I
have a short DB25M to DB25F ribbon cable to bring the 7i76 out to the back of
the cabinet. I disconnected it and connected the 6ft 25pin DB25m to DB25m cable
direct from the 5i25 to the 7i76 but no change in behavior.
I noticed that in pncconf there are no tabs for TB2 or TB3. Also on TB4 there
are no lines for SPINDLE-ENA or SPINDLE-DIR. Is that normal?
I would not worry about pncconf at this point, if you have no 7I76 pins its

I would check just to make sure

Re: [Emc-users] pncconf error under 2.7.14
No. That is what I noticed when I looked at the pins in Halshow. Then I tried to enable the limits and I got a missing pin hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.input-7. > On Aug 22, 2018, at 4:30 PM, andy pugh wrote: > > On 23 August 2018 at 00:28, Condit Alan wrote: >> So what is the remedy for this? > > First of all, do you have any pins with 7i76 in the name? > > -- > atp > "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is > designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and > lunatics." > — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users

If the config now loads, and you are using Axis, look in Machine->Show HAL Configuration. Or, in any GUI, open a terminal with LinuxCNC running and say "halcmd show pin" (Copy and paste that to a text file for future reference, or pipe the command in to a text file if you prefer) -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
Re: [Emc-users] pncconf error under 2.7.14
Thanks Andy, I have power to the board and field io. Both of the orange LEDs are on. I tried your suggestion. As I suspected it was not just the one error. I commented that first line out. The result was then that hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spinout-maxlim was missing. So I commented that out and then hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spinout-scalemax was missing. So I commented out that line and then hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spinout was missing. So I commented that out and then hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spinena was missing. So I commented that out and then hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spindir was missing. So I commented that out. So the lines were: setp hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spinout-minlim [SPINDLE_9]OUTPUT_MIN_LIMIT setp hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spinout-maxlim [SPINDLE_9]OUTPUT_MAX_LIMIT setp hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spinout-scalemax[SPINDLE_9]OUTPUT_SCALE net spindle-output => hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spinout net spindle-enable => hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spinena net spindle-ccw => hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spindir I think the long and short is that something is broken in pncconf. So I need to know what the pins are really supposed to be and it would be nice if pncconf got fixed so that I wouldn’t have to hand edit the file every time I run pncconf on it. Don’t get me wrong Chris has done a great job on pncconf so far and this is a relatively small problem in the grand scope of things. So for now, how do I figure out what the pin names should be?

Maybe re-select that option and comment out the minlim line, it will default to zero anyway.

I forgot to add that I was building a lathe configuration, in case it is just a bug in that area.
