Remora - ethernet NVEM / EC300 / EC500 cnc board

Post to change the title back to Remora - NVEM / EC300 / EC500.

hi guy's
i just finished flashing the firmware to my digital dream ec500v5 and upload the config file. now I'm i bit confused about proceeding and the documentation isn't making a whole lot a scene at the moment. I'm wondering do i need to make a hal file which contains the the pins from the ec500 and then let the main hal file call up the pin file?
I'm a total newby to this without any programming background. and the plan is to try and build a plasma table for my small buissnes.

thanks in advance

Use the example configuration as a starting point and then add your hal configuration for end stop etc as you need.

github.com/scottalford75/Remora-RT1052-c.../remora-rt1052-basic

so i dont understand how these correspond to physical pins on the remora board itself, do you still have to add those manualy in the code.
# estop and SPI comms enable and feedback

net user-enable-out <= iocontrol.0.user-enable-out => remora.enable
net user-request-enable <= iocontrol.0.user-request-enable => remora.reset
net remora-status <= remora.status => iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in


espacialy for the x-axis i dont see where the enable pin is or where the xp+, xp-, xd+,xd- are refferencd in the code here. i realy dot get it, the documentaion is not making sence.

# joint 0 setup (X axis)

setp remora.joint.0.scale [JOINT_0]SCALE
setp remora.joint.0.maxaccel [JOINT_0]STEPGEN_MAXACCEL

net j0pos-cmd joint.0.motor-pos-cmd => remora.joint.0.pos-cmd
net j0pos-fb remora.joint.0.pos-fb => joint.0.motor-pos-fb
net j0enable joint.0.amp-enable-out => remora.joint.0.enable

Yes, add your end stops etc to the hal file e.g.:

net X-home remora.input.00 => joint.0.home-sw-in
net Y-home remora.input.01 => joint.1.home-sw-in
net Y-home remora.input.02 => joint.2.home-sw-in

This links the remora input hal pins to other hal pins. It's the basis of any LinuxCNC configuration. You can build quite complex logic by linking hal pins from different components.

here is how the pins correspond to the physical pins. the xp and xd pins are defined in the config.txt and are turned into stepgen1,2,whatever
