Hi there Scott

I have flashed my EC500 with the latest firmware & am having a bit of a strange problem. Output pin 14 does not seem to be toggeling for me.

my machine is setup so that when the power on button is pressed in LinuxCNC output 14 comes on enabling the relay for the main drives...

    net        switch_on                halui.machine.is-on                remora.output.14    remora.output.13

When I turn the machine on most of the relays turn on (in the EC500) as part of the power up cycle and then turn off but output 14 seems to stay on.

I have disconnected all of the wires from the DB15 board & measured with a volt meter.
If I toggle remora.output.15 & measure between 1 & 15 on the DB15 it goes from 0 to 24v
if I toggle remora.output.13 & measure between 1 & 14 on the DB15 it goes from 0 to 24v
if I toggle remora.output.14 & measure between 1 & 7 on the DB15 it stays at 24v

Which is strange because it seemed to work as expected before I flashed the new firmware.
I have uploaded the same config file as before. (attached)
When attached to the relay & turn off it would sometimes have 8v measured !?!

I have attached the hal files also.

Could you please check to be sure there is not something in the software that could cause this.

Thanks
Alex

Hello everyone, I've been having a problem for days that I can't resolve.
joint 2 following error
emc/task/taskintf.cc 942: Error on joint 2, command number 104
The NVEM card communicates perfectly with linuxcnc, but when I ask it to start gcode I always get this error.
Could someone please help me.

 
Do you get this error if you do a full chip erase and upload the firmware without uploading a config.txt file? 


Hello Scotta, thanks for responding.
Yes that's right. I get the same error when loading the chip completely without loading config.txt or with it.
I confess that I've tried everything, and I have no idea what could be happening.
My NVEm is STM32
 

 


Can you jog at all? Please share your hal and config.txt file and I'll take a look. It has to be a configuration issue.

Hi all,
I have a EC500 board which I flashed with the firmware remora-rt1052-2.1.1.bin
When I upload "ec500-rt1052-DMA.txt" with upload_config.py I get the message "JSON config length incorrect" from the EC500 console.
 

I tried different files and all gave the same result.

Regards, Hans

Addendum:
As a test I flashed "remora-rt1052-1.1.0.bin" and then I can upload the config file.
So that seems to be a bug in the most recent firmware file.
