Retrofitting a TOS FNG 32 NC

This looks like a pncconf bug:

./my_LinuxCNC_machine.hal:22: parameter or pin 'hm2_7i94.0.stepgen.timer-number' not found

I would comment out the:

setp hm2_7i94.0.stepgen.timer-number 1

line, or replace it with:

setp hm2_7i94.0.encoder.timer-number 1

I removed the line and it still wont launch.
The report looks a little bit different this time.

 

Sorry it dissapered in my reply.
When I write loadrt hostmot2 I get:
bash: loadrt: command not found

Am I missing hostmot2?

Post your hal and ini files.

loadrt is a hal command, it will not run on its own in a terminal.

initiate hal: "halrun"
then you will see a prompt "halcmd"
then enter the loadrt lines.

although, i think this is irrelevant now because i think your 7i94 setup is correct.

That error suggests that LinuxCNC did not unload completely

I would try running:

halrun -U

and then try running LinuxCNC again


 

Okay. I understand what you mean now. I didnt know what "halcmd" was supposed to mean at first but now I get it
I get:
