HAL M19 Orient dont work

Hello,

so I have the problem that despite the example I always get the error that "the command is not known" with net orient-angle. I changed this in the ini: [RS274NGC] PARAMETER_FILE = linuxcnc.var ORIENT_OFFSET = 0 but the focus is more in the hal.


Here is the most important thing from my hal, the whole thing is from talla83, it somehow doesn’t work properly for me. I've tried other things with no success.

The spindle is a servo spindle with step and dir, encoder signals are also there and I take the index via an npn sensor.

"addf orient.0 servo-thread" ?

Thanks for the help but it still doesn't work, I still get errors when starting linuxcnc.
added with: addf failed
without : pin motion.spindle-orient-angle does not exist

addf spindle-orient servo-thread

(it would be "addf orient.0 servo-thread" if not named in the loadrt line)

Thanks for the help when I do addf orient.0 I have to do loadrt orient.0 first and then I get the following 3 errors.

waitpif failed /usr/bin/rtapi_app orient.0
/user/bin/rtapi_app exited without becoming ready
insmod for orient.0 failed, reurned -1

if you have a working script i would exchange it too i only do it for positioning for the tool changer. Unfortunately, I'm very bad at programming and don't know much about it. I've already looked at some. also the wiki entry for orient So if I do it the way it should be, I always get: pin motion.spindle-orient-angle does not exist

You would never "addf orient.0 servo-thread" because that's the incorrect function name

if you:
loadrt orient count=1
 then:
addf orient.0 servo-thread
makes sense

but if you look at your hal file, it does:
loadrt orient names=spindle-orient
then the addf must use the correct function name:
addf spindle-orient servo-thread
 

According to your statement it should work but it doesn't work, I have to do something else, I have in the ini: [RS274NGC]
PARAMETER_FILE = linuxcnc.var
ORIENT_OFFSET = 0 entered. and my spindle is equipped with additional things such as off_delay. but i always get "pin motion.spindle-orient-angle does not exist" when i hide this sentence in the hal gives me the next line. that this does not exist

It does work (verified here)

You likely have the wrong name for spindle orient angle

(probably should be spindle.0.orient-angle with current LinuxCNC)

I would suggest you not guess at pin names and instead list them by:

1. Remove all hal lines that cause an error
2. Launch LinuxCNC
3. Run halcmd -kf
4. Issue a command like "show pin spindle"

I don't remember all the details (has been a while) but I looked at my config and it is as PCW said:

Talla's org. config is for LinuxCNC 2.7. Since then PIN names have changed and you need to update your HAL. 

Replace "motion.spindle...." with "spindle.0." Check for correct PIN names. 

# orient mit motion verknuepfen
net orient-angle motion.spindle-orient-angle => spindle-orient.angle
net orient-mode motion.spindle-orient-mode => spindle-orient.mode
net orient-enable motion.spindle-orient => => and2.0.in1

should be
# orient mit motion verknuepfen
net orient-angle spindle.0.orient-angle => orient.spindle.angle
net orient-mode spindle.0.orient-mode => orient.spindle.mode
net orient-enable spindle.0.orient => and2.0.in1

Exclude the lines with an error in your HAL with a "#" in front until you can load LinuxCNC and then verify your PINs exist and fix the connections. 

Thanks for all the help, so I was able to find the spindle pin but I still have an error, when I do "show pin motion" I don't see a motion.angle pin that is missing. and that's my fault. The other motion pins that I need are also missing, somewhere the worm is stuck.
