Error,

I am not familiar with Pico Systems. So I hit my limit/ability of help.

I talked with tjamscad on the phone and had him comment out his encoder 4 lines that deal with linuxcnc. Encoder 4 deals with spindle feedback to the controller.

After commenting out the offending lines > Linuxcnc loaded. However he was unable to jog the machine in x or z axis without a following error. I would assume that the encoders are not getting back to the controller.

Either hardware; wiring is causing these problems imo.

At this time: My computer hardware is all orginal except a replacement hard drive. The hard drive was replaced because it was so hot you could not hold it.

My PPMC hardware is all orginal.

The error I am getting seems to be related to ppmc.0.encoder.04.position. Because of this being the only thing I can get to repeat I commented the following line out of my hal file.

# spindle feedback
#net SpindleRevs motion.spindle-revs ppmc.0.encoder.04.position
#net SpindleIndex motion.spindle-index-enable ppmc.0.encoder.04.index-enable
#setp ppmc.0.encoder.04.scale -7200

This will allow LinuxCNC to load but when the machine is powered on the drives and contactors go crazy. The also causes a joint 2 following error. That is my Z axis.

Here is dmesg after changing encoder to 03.

Where do I check for power?

Linuxcnc debug info ?

I don't see that any was created

I did, I don't see any debug information.
