Mitsubishi VFD Modbus cant get it work

Hi.. the switch from mach3 to linuxcnc is not easy...I have a Mitsubishi FR 720 VFD.With Mach3 all works fine.
With Linuxcnc i got error when Start Linuxcnc.I done:
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER
sudo grep dialout /etc/groupi
get : dialout:x:20:cnc
sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0

ok..then i installed :https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master/src/hal/user_comps/mitsub_vfd.pyand

now... i got errors... i cant understand.. because i use the example....  then i short the example... nothing...

i know..  everyday i write here.... sorry.... but i dont understand what i do wrong... 

addf parport.0.write base-thread
addf parport.0.reset base-thread

Try moving the above to the end of the addf base thread

i try... but no difference... i reboot... wait a minute and start linuxcnc.. same error.

i thank you.. but why moving the 2 lines. which reason? i want to understand.

another question...
i was thinking that linuxcnc allready have the components installed.. why i must compile the mitusb_vfd.py?!

i installed linuxcnc from live cd


thanks

if i send via terminal:

halcmd loadusr mitsub_vfd -p /dev/ttyUSB1

i get:

cnc@cnc:~$ ('/dev/ttyUSB1', 9600)

same with :

whats the reason for the errors?! i cant load in linuxcnc to show me the pins,signals...... its a fresh install of linuxcnc livecd.

thanks

What version of linuxcnc are you using?
Mitsub is included in 2.7 and newer.

If I had to guess I'd say it was a python version problem but I need some info to answer.

2.8.2 buster rt live dvd installed from usbstick. 4.0.8.
is this what you mean???
phyton is version 3.7


thanks

linuxcnc 2.8 only works with python 2

oh ok, please look to the github link.
first line ... pyhton3.

what must i install?

i load from github the raw mitsub_vfd.py
then in install it with

sudo halcompile --install mitsub_vfd.py

this is right?


where can i found the folder for the included comps? i search yesterday the complete night but cant find the folder.

as example... wj200_vfd.comp is not on my harddrive.. is it normal?!

thanks

mitsub is included in 2.8. you don;t need to download it.
the one included in 2.8 is made for python 2.
the one you downloaded is from master branch , which requires python3

but why i can find it on my harddisk?!
