Hi Mike

You´re very welcome.

Yes.. it´s one of those things. Started out fairly nice and became a mess along the way. Making a note to go and clean it up.

I have run the basic configuration without the scales which worked perfectly fine. But then again it was just about the most basic configuration you can get. Steppers in open loop.
I actually milled the bracket for the X axis in that configuration 

I haven´t tried introducing the PID loop without the scales. It actually never even occurred to me that i could.

Trying to close the loop is the big pita for me at this point.
Up until now all work has been on the X axis only.

Thank you for your input on this. I think I need to go back and restart the reading. I think my basic problem is a lack of understanding of the architecture so i guess it´s time to do it again.

hi,
now i am back home. I try to clean up little and hope it works.
We should get a runnig hal without encoder first. Second step connect encoder.
For test you try this hal. In your was something double.
Then comment all encoder lines + switch line 71 +72 back to open loop mode.
Check if your machine moving in correct way. If not adjust step scale best as possible.
For me its difficult to write this kind of hal. Because i use hostmot2 to and my config is different. I'm sure we can do it. corrections are welcome. I'm also just a beginner.
Finally we can do only step by step try and error.

I would propose to make a sample-pncconf config with minimum axes. Learn in that how the pid is connected into the axis -> joint world. And don't forget the working glass encoders.
Then guys better than me on the closed loop question can easier help you.

PNCConfig does not work without a mesa card and stepconf can only configure a spindle encoder.

Sorry, but I have another mistake in line 19:
loadrt stepgen step_type = 0,0,0 ctrl_type = v, v, v # +++++++++ new
ctrl_type = v, v, v must ctrl_type = v, p, p with encoder in x. Y and Z were not set yet. And the PID
net x-enable => pid.x.enable
net xpos-cmd => pid.x.command
net xvel-cmd => pid.x.command-deriv
net xpos-fb => pid.x.feedback
net x-output => pid.x.output

net xpos-cmd <= joint.0.motor-pos-cmd
net xvel-cmd <= joint.0.vel-cmd
net x-output <= stepgen.0.velocity-cmd
without encoder
net xpos-fb <= stepgen.0.position-fb
net xpos-fb => joint.0.motor-pos-fb
with encoder
net xpos-fb <= encoder.0.position
net xpos-fb => joint.0.motor-pos-fb

net x-vel-fb <= encoder.0.velocity
net x-vel-fb => pid.z.feedback-deriv

so xpos-fp and xpos-cmp are connected to PID. x-output => pid.x.output I don't quite understand yet, but it should be like this according to Hakan's example

This looks great. Really looking forward to trying it out.

My vacation however is over so i'm at work now.
I'll give it a shot as soon as i get home and get back to you.

Just wanted to get the initial result back to you.

So…
Running the initial config from you but with an update line 19 yields.
loadrt stepgen step_type=0,0,0 ctrl_type=v,p,p

Fails to load and an error from line 70.
net xpos-cmd joint.0.motor-pos-cmd => stepgen.0.position-cmd

Then in order to try it out i updated line 70 to use:
net xpos-cmd joint.0.motor-pos-cmd => stepgen.0.velocity-cmd

Then it loads but when i order a move in X it just continues to move until i get a joint 0 error.

yes, there is the missing point with pid
line 70 new two lines
x-output <= stepgen.0.velocity-cmd # velocity to PID
xpos-cmd <= joint.0.motor-pos-cmd # new calculatet back to xpos-cmd

xvel-cmd <= joint.0.vel-cmd #is missing to

to compare. finaly is this our target. we have to rename all hm2_7i76e.0 and z- words.

Sorry about the delay. Was buried in a manual :)

ok. currently i added the three lines starting from line 70:
And it now looks like this.

Result:
Now nothing moves :)

Haven't begun aligning to hakans example yet.

well done.
this line is double
net xpos-fb => joint.0.motor-pos-fb # feedback to joint data
if you switch to open loop you schould comment this line to

Next step check in open loop your movement. Maybe we can trust the encoder data and travel 200mm end of your table.
Compare encoder position with stepgen.0.position-fb postion.
Adjust SCALE = -320 in ini File to min difference.
last step switch encoder on and cross finger
