Thanks again Peter for you help! It is soo nice that the Linuxcnc community helps newbies like myself. This help is hopefully getting me to learn more about Linuxcnc so I can figure out how to fix things. I started of trying to use pncconfig and did't understand alot of the terms and settings info so I went to AI for some help and I can see now that it was not really helpful.
Thanks again,
George
Well I have made a little headway thanks to your help but now I am stuck again after a few hours of banging my head against my keyboard I am back. I have encountered an error at hal 67 with limit inputs. I have the inputs on TB6 04-9 being first 4 limits xyy2z 8&9 estops. I have commented out any thing to do with the estops and spindle on both ini and hal files to try and get linuxcnc running without errors and then I will work on them. The is pin 04 does not exist and I'm sure I am going to get the same errors for the joints. I have updated my ini and hal files and and added a screen copy of the run of Linuxcnd with the exact error shown and you can see what else is loading.
thanks again,
George
Hi tommylight, thanks for helping me with that I very much appreciate it and all the knowledge you have. I am just a newbie who is flailing around knowing squat trying to learn linux and linuxcnc; and not killing my brain in the process (my head has a few bruises from bashing it against my keyboard.
Thanks,
George
LOL, i feel sorry for the keyboard!
It is hard for now, but after a while everything starts to fall in place and make sense.
Changing one single thing at a time and testing is much more productive and easy to roll back in case of failure.
The way to push ahead is to note the error and comment out the line causing it with a #
Then when it opens, open halshow (eg. axis menu: show hal configuration)
Then review the pins. You might just have a minor typo. then edit the commented out line to use the correct pin name
