Encoder connection error with mesa 7i95

Dear Forum,

I created a pncconf file and it is working if I keep no. of encoder is zero. Further I changed the configuration with one encoder connection and got the error.

Attached error screenshot and configured file.

Edit the hal file with a text editor, omit the lines containing stepgen----fb in them as there are two lines with feedback set in hal.
That is if you want to use the encoders.

I omited the line but getting another error related with watchdog.


I am using encoder only in Z axis, X and Y are connected with steeper motor without encoder. I just omit the line for Z axis only. Do I need to omit for all?

If possible please edit the file and send back.
Thanks.

Here I edited correctly and now able to launch linuxcnc. But getting watchdog and joint 2 following error during jogging/MDI. When I used same file without commenting the encoder line in .hal file, I am able to jog/MDI. Please help.

Attached the file and error screenshot.

Again I did mistakes and uploaded the previous error file, Please ignore the error report screenshot. I am able to launch now but getting error in linuxcnc window

If the watchdog bites, you have real time issues on the host

Did you run a latency test?

Something like

latency-histogram --nobase --sbinsize 1000
