tried pncconf and get these errors - attached

Thanks cbcbasher for early advice.

Ok I tried to do the pncconf and with minimum inputs only to fit my machine. I have to do this myself and I have no experience on these but I read about putting the files here so you can look at them and give some advice. I'm not knowing what is next. I just bought this machine for making jewelry art but it is a basket parts just for the computer but the rest looks ok. I saw it working at neighbor before. I can do the wires and such and use the PC. But I know this has a new mesa 5I25 and 7I76 that was not working yet.

I put in the basic things for the wires for motors and switches on my machine into pncconf and I left every else alone. Then I tried to start Linuxcnc and it stopped right away with errors. Never showed any GUI screen. I copy errors to file and is attached here. I put also hal and ini files. I tried to figure it but I don't have any vfd only relay for router on and off. It is machine XYZA. I want to make it move correctly. What must I do next?

Thanks,
Alice

looks like your errors are modbus related:

mitsub_vfd.hal:12: waitpid failed gs2_vfd spindle-vfd
mitsub_vfd.hal:12: gs2_vfd exited without becoming ready

ok, thanks can I go in editter and just delete lines in hal file

does one of those lines let me turn on spindle relay wire on tb5 gpio ?
Thanks,

net spindle-on => hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spinena
to use the 7i76 spindle opto output on TB4 pins 5 or 6
or to use TB5 or TB6 use :
spindle on => hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.output-10 ( change 10 to suit the pin you want to use )

pm me if your stuck Alice, or email
