thanks for you help up too pres

net y-pos-fb <= hm2_5i20.0.encoder.00.position
net y-pos-fb => pid.y.feedback
net y-pos-fb => axis.1.motor-pos-fb
net y-index-enable axis.1.index-enable <=> hm2_5i20.0.encoder.00.index-enable

around line 135 you should find a typo as ypos-fb etc they need changing as per above

also as a note in your ini file you have
[RS274NGC]
PARAMETER_FILE = emc.var

it may not make any difference but that also requires a name change
[RS274NGC]
PARAMETER_FILE = linuxcnc.var

have you changed file locations ?
the following ...
Debug file information:
Can not find -sec MOT -var MOT -num 1
Can not find -sec IO -var IO -num 1
Can not find -sec LINUXCNC -var NML_FILE -num 1
Can not find -sec EMC -var NML_FILE -num 1

these may be part of the parameter file as mentioned

i have changed and now axis will start but

i get this when trying the calibration

can't read "ininamearray(0)": no such variable
can't read "ininamearray(0)": no such variable
while executing
"set ininamearray($axisentry)"
(procedure "iniTuneButtonpress" line 34)
invoked from within
"iniTuneButtonpress test"
invoked from within
".main.top.fpage0.buttons.test invoke"
("uplevel" body line 1)
invoked from within
"uplevel #0

"
(procedure "tk::ButtonUp" line 22)
invoked from within
"tk::ButtonUp .main.top.fpage0.buttons.test"
(command bound to event)

check your parameter file .. as per the last message
also uncomment the z axis lines in your INI file

i have changed that now but still the same and im not using a z axis

i'm having problem trying to replicate the error here .. is this a new install or update ? i am of the opinion that somethings screwed up
on install or picking up old settings or scripts or even dependancys , perhaps Arceye may be able to point to the right direction ...

was this installed from live cd ?

Unfortunately I have no experience with these boards or what pncconf generates for them.

All I can offer is that these errors

Debug file information:
Can not find -sec MOT -var MOT -num 1
Can not find -sec IO -var IO -num 1
Can not find -sec LINUXCNC -var NML_FILE -num 1
Can not find -sec EMC -var NML_FILE -num 1

seem to relate to parsing of the .INI file not finding variables it expects at the various headings.

This one is strange Can not find -sec EMC -var NML_FILE -num 1
because if the line was not commented out LinuxCNC would throw multiple errors with any version >= 2.4

The second set of errors are tk/python errors, but also seem to relate to problems with the .ini file, either parsing it or even just finding it
set ininamearray($axisentry)

Don't know if this helps at all.

regards

At first I upgraded and had the same pic not working issues and then a clean install from the live cd with the same issues it there a problem with the live cd also I cannot see it but the USB install stick I made this time round was made on Ubuntu it's self instead of on windows like I normally do I will try a few different ways of install

Thanks

is it just me or is there an issue with the live cd i can do a fresh install, open pnc, set firmware to svst8_4 change encoders to 4 change pwm gens to 4 and step to 0

and change the pdm base frequency to 6000000hz (unless thats not 6mhz like it states for the 7i33 card)

and then config the x and y encoders and PDM gens and continue to next page (skipping limits till i can get the open loop tests i have configured them and it makes no difference)

then on to the axis config and the open loop button is greyed out

but if i use the test panel on the mesa config page i can run the servos ok

in the meantime i have been hand coding the hal file from 2.4.x emc to add things as i get sorted i would however prefer to use pncconf

any help would be appreciated am i doing something wrong shall i get ubuntu 10.04lts and install linuxcnc on that insted of the live cd?

many thanks john

it seams if you dont fill in the encoder counts field the open loop test wont work

my apologies my fault tho a notice informing of this may help

sorry for the wasted time on this
