7i96 pncconf issue?

Bearfood wrote: In the pncconfig tool I can use the test button and control my x axis but as soon as I exit the test to move onto Y I get an error and the FPGA LED lights red on the 7i96 controller.

Any thoughts?

What is the error posted?

I don't get the error anymore (for the life of me I can't recall the fix to that) just the light and someone said the light was because pncconf violated the real-time part of the kernel which generated the light. The problem I have right now is that X (single motor) moves but Y (dual Motor) and Z (dual motor) will not even attempt to move. I thought the 2 were linked but sadly no.

How are you commanding the axis to move?

I dont see any homing setup so would not expect axis jogs to be functional

I'm able to use the jog function on the x axis after I home each of the joints in LinuxCNC or the Test Axis in PNCconf. Just can't get Y & Z to do something similar.

Do the affected joint position commands change when you jog them?

(joint.1.motor-pos-cmd, joint.2.motor-pos-cmd, joint.3.motor-pos-cmd, joint.4.motor-pos-cmd)

how do I check that?

I see in the software that the positions change (numbers) and the tool Icon move on the screen but the real tool doesn't move.

My apologies, I'm new to this.
