Brother TC-211

version 2.5.4. And Ill reset and try the man orient




no luck on the command line input

Ok I just upgraded to 2.63

Ran it again and got a new error message


Debug file information:
Brother_TC-211.hal:238: pin 'hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.index-enable' is connected to a signal
3579
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
Stopping realtime threads
Unloading hal components

I went in and edited the encoder to 03. Thats the spindle encoder, and got another error.

Debug file information:
Brother_TC-211.hal:242: Unknown command 'aetp'
3927
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
Stopping realtime threads
Unloading hal components


and the bad line

aetp pid.0.maxoutput 90

should it read

aetp pid.03.maxoutput 90

Debug file information:
Brother_TC-211.hal:242: parameter or pin 'pid.0.maxoutput' not found
4139
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
Stopping realtime threads
Unloading hal components

Still something wrong here

And the hal file section

#SPINDLE ORIENT CHANGES

setp hm2_5i25.0.encoder.03.scale 4098
#set the orientation angle here
setp orient.0.angle 180
# make sure the encoder is aligned to index
setp hm2_5i25.0.encoder.03.index-enable 1
# these values will require adjustment!!!!!
setp pid.spindle.Pgain 1
setp pid.spindle.Igain 0.001
setp pid.0.maxoutput 90 <line 242 the error line

Debug file information:
Brother_TC-211.hal:245: Pin 'orient-pos' does not exist
4320
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
Stopping realtime threads
Unloading hal components


net spindle orient-pos orient.0.command => pid.spindle.command

Ok I have no idea at all

This is what happens when I try to write a HAL file without a LinuxCNC machine to test it on. (though without a 7i77 I could never have tested this file).



You can fly over anytime you want and play away

I will do that change tonight. At work now. Again thanks so much for the help.

On a side question what kind of bike do you ride. (Your avatar)
