[Machinekit] Teknic motors and MachineKit

I'm looking into using Teknic SDSK servo motors with MachineKit. The SDSK models accept step and direction pulses like a stepper motor, so using hal_pru_generic's stepgen is straight forward. The major issue I see is attempting to use Teknic's precision homing routines, as it doesn't fit into M

more involved routine. It seems that in order to avoid a custom build of MachineKit, that I need a way to either trigger immediate homing or the ability to detect that a user initiated immediate homing from within HAL. Any ideas? John Allwine Owner of Allwine Designs https://www.allwinedesigns.com

[Machinekit] how to use webtalk

What steps are necessary to use webtalk? This thread seems to indicate that it's no longer compiled by default: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/machinekit/webtalk%7Csort:date/machinekit/rc7aSsjdU8k/FxeZjwdQDAAJ Does that mean I'd need to build machinekit from source to be able to use

[Machinekit] C instantiable components and hal_pru_generic

Is there documentation on how to write an instantiable HAL component in C? I’ve been making modifications to hal_pru_generic to work on the BeagleBone AI. hal_pru_generic is implemented in such a way that only 4 GPIO ports can be used. The BBB only has 4 GPIO ports, so any pin on the P8 and P9 h

I’ll have to dig a little deeper. I’m monitoring the error channel in Python using something like this (this is the only process calling poll on the error_channel): import linuxcnc e = linuxcnc.error_channel() while True: error = e.poll() if error: print error sleep(.1) I don’t see

I agree it’s not a high priority and if it becomes one for us, I’ll certainly contribute where I am able. I still need to get my pull request in order for getting hal_pru_generic working on the BeagleBone AI, as well as making it an instantiable component to be able to leverage multiple PRUs.
