[Machinekit] Re: Conditionally loading a HAL file
Late solving here, just posting in case it helps someone someday :)
I created a small python code to test if the joystick file exists and
called it with loadusr -w joystickLoader
In my case, i got these three files:
joystickLoader:
#!/usr/bin/python
import hal
import os
# load the HAL file 'joystickOptions.hal'
res = os.spawnvp(os.P_WAIT, "halcmd", ['halcmd' , '-k', '-Q', '-f',
'joystickOptions.hal'])
joyFileExists = os.path.isfile('/dev/js0')
if joyFileExists == True:
print 'Joystick found! Initilizing...'
# load the HAL file 'joystickOptions.hal'
res = os.spawnvp(os.P_WAIT, "halcmd", ['halcmd' , '-k', '-Q', '-f',
'joystickOptions.hal'])
if not res:
res = os.spawnvp(os.P_WAIT, "halcmd", ['halcmd' ,"-f",
"joystickSuccess.hal"])
if res:
print ' TRY LOADER ERROR: try_sucess.hal file Error'
raise SystemExit, res
else:
print 'No joystick found'
exit()
joystickOptions.hal:
loadusr hal_input -KRAL 1
joystickSuccess.hal:
loadrt or2 count=2
loadrt mux4 count=2
addf or2.0 servo-thread
addf or2.1 servo-thread
addf mux4.0 servo-thread
# set the jog speed for the joypad again use numbers that make sense for
your machine
setp mux4.0.in0 0 # this one must be 0 to prevent motion unless a button is
pressed
setp mux4.0.in1 50
setp mux4.0.in2 300
setp mux4.0.in3 1800
# the following does the magic of setting the jog speeds
net remote-speed-slow or2.0.in0 input.0.btn-thumb2
net remote-speed-medium or2.1.in0 input.0.btn-thumb
net remote-speed-fast or2.0.in1 or2.1.in1 input.0.btn-joystick
net joy-speed-1 mux4.0.sel0 <= or2.0.out
net joy-speed-2 mux4.0.sel1 <= or2.1.out
net joy-speed-final halui.jog-speed <= mux4.0.out
net joy-x-jog halui.jog.0.analog <= input.0.abs-x-position
setp input.0.abs-y-scale -127.5
net joy-y-jog halui.jog.1.analog <= input.0.abs-y-position
addf mux4.1 servo-thread
setp mux4.1.in0 0
setp mux4.1.in1 -1
setp mux4.1.in2 1
setp mux4.1.in3 0
net joy-z-up mux4.1.sel0 <= input.0.btn-base
net joy-z-down mux4.1.sel1 <= input.0.btn-base2
net joy-z-jog halui.jog.2.analog <= mux4.1.out

Re: [Machinekit] Re: DE10 Nano suggested development environment?
I _think_ the debugging will get output to the log file if you launch with something like DEBUG=5. I don't think you need to pass any parameters to the hm2_soc_ol driver, it's the hm2 module that takes things like the sserial= option. IIRC, with full debugging turned on, you'll get a dump with quite a bit of detail as the hm2 driver launches and starts auto-probing the hardware to see what's configured.

Re: [Machinekit] Re: DE10 Nano suggested development environment?
Charles, is there any way to see that SSerial is actually running? Typically when you start LinuxCNC from terminal Hm2 will print the sserial version running first. I can’t see this by starting a config with Machinekit. I tried launching a basic source file and manually loadrt from halrun but the differences are such that I couldn’t figure out how to loadrt hm2_soc_ol with any config options. I’m not sure if the “atlas_sv” file needs a modification. For smart serial, like I said I’m just using the same renamed 3x24.sv I’ve been using. By “not work” i mean when starting MK plugged into the 8i20 from my mill I get no hm2_5i25.0.8i20.. pins as I would with the 8i20 plugged into the 7i76e/x86 pc installed on the mill. I didn’t have any issues with the cable, connection I made for that and this is pretty much exactly the same. I’ve checked all my connections but I certainly wouldn’t rule out that I missed something. It’d be great if I could find some evidence that either sserial is actually running or that the hardware isn’t communicating anything at all, like some sort of serial terminal where I could at least check for some sort of handshake process. -- 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.

Re: [Machinekit] Re: DE10 Nano suggested development environment?
>From what I know your pin file looks OK, but I'm not an expert on SSerial. Can you need to expand a bit on "still couldn't get it to work". The hm2 driver will automatically look for and create HAL pins for any SSerial devices it finds, but the far end needs to be powered up and responding to SSerial communication when the driver loads for this to happen (eg: the field I/O on the 7i76). So if the FPGA hardware is OK, you should see some communication on the SSerial lines when the hm2 driver loads.
