I have not tried steppers with encoders on real hardware. I don't have anything I could test with.
I rely on feedback from - mostly users. Devs don't generally use pncconf.

What a bummer.
Lot of users try software and disappear silently :(

I never got feedback about my app. Too bad for that

LOL - if you know how things should work together, then of cause you don't need help :dry:

I had hoped the devs would try it from time to time just to help with bug fixes.
It works pretty well for normal open loop steppers and closed loop servo machines.
I have threatened to remove it for years but when it works its very helpful.
But I'm only one guy :)

Are there sample hal files available for working closed loop servo installations?
May be, I could find out the missing link by myself?

LOL - from my observation a very helpful and for so very important guy :woohoo:

It works perfectly well for steppers with encoders, the only thing left to do is omit the stepgen-feedback for each axis.

I dont use it often.
But it is a phantastic tool which improofed over the years. In the moment i work a bit with seeedstudio to get parport running in epp mode on their x86 mobo. And for that i base on your tool to have a simple reproducable 7i43 config. Maybe i can convince them to support lcnc as this little beast has nice diy features.

In my eyes the best way of working is to setup as extensive as possible with your tool and then swap to hand modification. But then the learning curve into hal is demanding for a beginner.

Hope you lonely guy do not give up.

Mike
