Installing Linuxcnc on new pc Using Debian 12.13 and Linuxcnc 2.9.8 mesa 7i76eu

forgot to mention that in halshow i could not see any action on pins the only ones i could see were gpio pins and it listed 50 pins. Just for curiosity i looked at all 50 of the pins and tried activating the limit switchs and saw no change

The field I/O (TB4,5,6) is not GPIO.

If you assign TB5 or TB6 I/O pins or spindle (TB4) pins in pncconf and
you get pin not found errors, this most likely means that you do not
have field power applied (TB1 = ORANGE  connector)

Thank you for your response PCW. I have checked and there is field power of 24v across pins 1&8 it is also tranfered to the nearby power block can't remember its tb number but done as mentioned in posts and manuals.
Thanks

I just figured out what the gpio pins are and they are if iam correct the 50 pins on P1 and P2 halshow was not showig any sserial port pins. That is probably why the pin do not exist errors I was getting is from.
Just a thought

When you say you have an error,
Please please copy/paste that error
in your post.

It's nearly impossible to diagnose the issue
without accurate error reporting.

Also do you have a red LED (CR11) illuminated
above the Spindle connection (TB4) ?

 

Hi PCW,
I have attached the linuxcnc report. I put it for line 36 in hal but all of the other inputs 05-09 were the same errors. No there aren't any red led's on the board at that location with the error i get there will be one in amonst the boot up led's.
Thanks
