Re: [Machinekit] Re: Example Gantry Configs

2017-09-19 Thread Tom M
Well, I'm doing my happy dance..
My current issue is I didn't have my xenable signal tied into my enable, 
powerup and led on my cramps board... (Thanks for the hints but not the answer) 
Now I'm getting dangerous since I'm starting to think I almost know what I'm 
doing...  
I'm able to jog and do manual homing...Next step I need to get my switches 
wired up and working on the autohoming.  I'm hoping I can get this ready for 
the Milwaukee makerfaire without pulling an all nighter or two  Hoo hoo

Every component that is instantiated, has a description in its man page 
of how to load it.


Covers loadrt method and the newinst method
eg

However it is not covered here

and probably should be

I don't see any obvious goofs in your HAL file.

Check the ESTOP and machine-power signal chains on your hardware and
make sure the stepper drivers are being enabled.

Also, you can find a bit of documentation regarding instantiated
components here:

http://www.machinekit.io/docs/hal/instcomp_writing_a_component/

...but it looks like the newinst command didn't get added to the
online HAL docs.
