PncConf 7i43 Axis Motor Test/Tune error

Hello,

The motor test / tuning works well in PncConf with 5i20 cards, but Iit gives error messages with 7i43 cards.

like this : (....line 9097, in update_tune_axis_params halrun.flush() IOError [Errno 32] Broken pipe)

I suppose those error messages can be easily eliminated with little effort, making the motor testing very easy for 7i43 cards too.
If it requires a lot of work or rewriting hundreds of code lines then my estimation is wrong...

Of course I am willing to help in bug hunting.

Thanks for support in advance.

Hey James.

Thanks for reporting.
I need to know a couple things...
first what version of linuxcnc are you using?
second if you run PNCconf in a terminal and get that message you will see the actual HAL error message, which will help pinpoint the fix.

Hi Chris,

LinuxCNC version: 2.5.1-28-gea820a7

and the messages from console:

halscope: could not find thread: 'THREAD (null)'
halscope: could not set horizontal multiplier: 'HMULT 1'
halscope: config file 'autosave.halscope' caused 2 warnings
<stdin>:19: setp requires 2 arguments, 1 given

This was generated when I clicked on "Test/Tune Axis" button.
Later, when I click on "Enable" or "+" or "-" buttons then there is a popup windows with the messages like I mentioned, but nothing else comes up in the console.

Hi Chris,

Is this information is enough for debugging, or do I need to provide further infos?

Of course if there is another reason why there was no response, then please forget this message.

no this is probably all you can tell me. This report just fell through the cracks.
Thanks for reminding me.

OK I changed my mind can you send me your config pncconf file (not the config it's self)?
I really need to build a cable for my 7i43....
Was this a stepper machine?
Chris

Hi Chris,


This was a stepper config.
The link to the file: pncconf

I tried the stepper tune only on X axis, but I suppose the situation is similar with Y and Z too.
