That typically means a connection issue
Either the link was not up when LinuxCNC started, the IP address was wrong or similar

OK
I have given up on making it work after messing up several versions of my hals and inis
Instead i now want to make new ones by using mesaCT like i did from the beginning (the way that so far let me get the most successfull result)
I get an "OK" when trying to test the configuration
But when building the configuration i get this message from meseCT:
File "../../usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/libmesact/buildconfig.py", line 61, in build
parent.updateini.update(parent, iniFile)
File "../../usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/libmesact/updateini.py", line 135, in update
self.update_key(item[0], item[1], item[2])
File "../../usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/libmesact/updateini.py", line 765, in update_key
start = self.sections[f'[{section}]'][0]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
KeyError
'[MESA]'
First download the deb and reinstall
to be sure you have the latest build date
Then please file an issue at
github.com/jethornton/mesact/issues

Finally I made a successfull connection of the mesa 7i97t.
When I turn the motor still standing on the table i can see the X Dro increase in numbers to what could be expected in relation to the counts/rev.
Now two things are still beyond my understanding.
1. When I try to jog the axis the DRO only moves 0,18mm when pressing and releasing the < or > key. Same result if I use arrows in AXIS. Jog mode is set to continuous.
2. When I release Estop and enable the drive F1 & F2 the motor starts rotating at a speed which looks like something that could be1v.
Any explanations?
HAL file attached
