Not able to get outputs on GPIO of Raspberry5 was created by AndyCNC
Hi,
I'm a bit desperate. I want to replace my very old pc based linuxcnc with the actual version running on a raspberry pi 5.
I've been trying to get signals to the pin header for a day now.
First of all: Is there a tutorial for raspberry configuration? I found nothing except the general docu and then went from one error message to another.
What I did is:
1. Started Stepconf wizard
2. Replaced parallel port Pins with hal_gpioxxx, see attached hal file

File Size:3 KB

When I start this Setup following error occurs:

File Name: linuxcnc_report.txt

This was my try to set the PINs:
halcmd: loadrt hal_gpio inputs=PIN3,PIN5,PIN7 outputs=PIN5,PIN6,PIN9,PIN10,PIN11,PIN17,PIN22,PIN27
Note: Using POSIX realtime
The GPIO line PIN3 can not be found
hal_gpio: rtapi_app_main: Operation not permitted (-1)
<stdin>:12: waitpid failed /usr/bin/rtapi_app hal_gpio
<stdin>:12: /usr/bin/rtapi_app exited without becoming ready
<stdin>:12: insmod for hal_gpio failed, returned -1
halcmd: Note: Using POSIX realtime

Would be nice if onyone could show my where I'm wrong.

Andy

Have you run the "gpioinfo" command? That will list the available pins. If it doesn't work that may mean that you don't have gpiod installed.

Is your user account a member of the "dialout" group?

Thanks for your fast reply.
That's the output of "gpioinfo", looks ok for me:

First hint is here:
The GPIO line PIN3 can not be found.

PIN3 isn't a name of a pin, pins are named as per man page.
