loading LinuxCNC on old smithy 1240

Its clear that the correct firmware was found most times LinuxCNC was launched
It really seems like some more basic issue.

Can you run a latency test?

this is what we had changed it to
loadrt [EMCMOT]EMCMOT servo_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]SERVO_PERIOD traj_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]TRAJ_PERIOD  num_joints=[KINS]JOINTS

and from ini file

[EMCMOT]
EMCMOT = motmod
SHMEM_KEY = 111
COMM_TIMEOUT = 1.0
BASE_PERIOD = 250000
SERVO_PERIOD = 1000000
TRAJ_PERIOD = 1000000



 

I changed the loadrt [EMCMOT] line back to what it was
loadrt [EMCMOT]EMCMOT base_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]BASE_PERIOD servo_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]SERVO_PERIOD traj_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]TRAJ_PERIOD key=[EMCMOT]SHMEM_KEY num_joints=[KINS]JOINTS

and the gui comes back up, but it is full of "red Lights" although the start button now works it won't let the home button become active.
I'll attach a pic

 

I don't believe there was a line break inserted. Attaching pic again, hopefully it works this time

yes, it came out of estop. I'll look for postgui hal.
are you on chat tonite?

I enabled that line, it came up with 2 green lites this time, but when I tried it again to make note of them, it won't start gui again

OK, so enabling the original line
loadrt [EMCMOT]EMCMOT base_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]BASE_PERIOD servo_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]SERVO_PERIOD traj_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]TRAJ_PERIOD key=[EMCMOT]SHMEM_KEY num_joints=[KINS]JOINTS
gui comes up and 2 lites are now green "C" and spindle at speed
