Loadrt motmod and I/O Pins

Hello,
i need more than 4 outputpins. Can i create more outputpins with the command:
loadrt motmod [num_dio=16] ?

Thanks

Hans

Yes, the current LinuxCNC version (2.7.8) supports up to 64 AIO and 64 DIO pins

man motion

for available motmod options

Also the brackets are just to indicate that a parameter is optional so the added token
to the "loadrt motmod" line would just be num_dio=16

Hello,
had i to write the complete loadrt motmod syntax or is "loadrt motmod num_dio=16" alone possible?
Its then possible to switch a outputpin on and off with "net motion.digital-out-10 hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.0.output-10"
and M64 P10 ?

Thanks

Hans

Sure but you need a signal name, net commands have the following syntax:

net signal_name pinX pinY pinZ

so something like

net hair_on_fire motion.digital-out-10 hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.0.output-10

would be the proper syntax

had i to write the complete loadrt motmod syntax or is "loadrt motmod num_dio=16" alone possible?

No, you need to add the num_dio=16 token to the existing loadrt motmod line

Hello,
in my hal is no motmod but there is a EMCMOD. Is this the same?

Thanks
