Sieg KX3 and 5i25. Seeking firmware.

Did I forget the first "halrun" command?

If I did then start with halrun, and use exit to finish.

Yeah!!!!! that worked!
I had to add LED to he line for whatever reason but I see that in the pins
setp hm2_5i25.0.led.CR01 1

So for the first time something has happened that I wanted to

Now, lets say I want to turn on a single output pin, line an enabled signal just straight on/off?
I thought maybe setp hm2_5i25.0.gpio.01 1
but that would be too simple

If that is the pin name, that is exactly what you would do. Except that I think that GPIO-01 is allocated to stepgen.04.step. it should work for gpio.00 on physical pin 1 though.

You might also need:
setp hm2_5i25.0.gpio.00.is-output 1
(That will be in the parameter list, not the pin list).

The documentation for Hostmot2 is here, though it could do with some improvements in the formatting.
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/man/man9/hostmot2.9.html
You probably only care about the GPIO and stepgen sections.

Do you know what the desired frequency is for the charge-pump circuit on the C11G?

I'll try that (turning on a single pin) after work today
12.5khz for the chargepump
Thx

The HAL section for setting up the charge pump will look a bit like this.
You wouldn't type the comment lines when doing this by hand.

Watching this with great interest .The mesa HAL syntax is now much clearer.

Code:

#set the stepgen on pin 14 to velocity mode

The chargepump's on pin 17 (of the DB25) in the C11g.
