Signal 'findEdge2' can not add I/O pin 'joint.3.index-enable', it already has OUT pin 'ed1.out'

You might be able to use the "trisate_bit" component to convert the ed1.out pin to an IO pin so that it can connect to the index-enable net.

hello

I apologize for not being able to reply to db1981, andypugh's post.

I've read the manual many times over the last few days for a solution to this problem. So I found a way to add a phthon program to do what I want in the HAL.
And for the time being, I made Homing possible, so I decided to report it.

The python program is a simple content, just referring to the sample in the manual.

python========================================
#!/usr/bin/env python
import hal
h=hal.component("toggle2index")

h.newpin("in",hal.HAL_BIT,hal.HAL_IN)
h.newpin("index",hal.HAL_BIT,hal.HAL_IO)

h.ready()
ib=0

while 1 :

    if ib != h :
        ib = h
        if h.index == 1:
            h.index = 0
python========================================

Make this available in HAL

HAL============================================

net ys4-home-sw joint.3.home-sw-in lcec.0.1.din-2-not
net findEdge1 <= lcec.0.3.TouchProbeStatus-7
net findEdge1 => toggle2index.in
net findEdge2  toggle2index.index <=> joint.3.index-enable

HAL============================================

It is confirmed that HomeSwitch is added and Homing is performed.
I would like to investigate how accurate it is.

I'm not a programmer who can maintain LinuxCNC. Also, I'm not particularly knowledgeable about building systems. Therefore, it would be very helpful to get the opinions and advice of those who have a lot of knowledge.

Thank you very much.

I would _strongly_ recommend moving this code into a C realtime component if you intend to use it on a real machine.

It should be even easier than the Python version.

See here for details:
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/hal/comp.html

Shouldn't the "if ib != h" (etc) in your code be using h,in ? (maybe the editor mangled it)

The .comp version would look like:
component toggle2index;
pin in bit in;
pin io bit index;

function _;
license "GPL2+";
;;
static int ib = 0;
if (ib != in){
    ib = in;
    if (index == 1){
        index = 0;
    }
}

If this is added to the servo thread then it is guaranteed to run ever 1ms, which is not the case for a userspace Python component which could potentially pause for several seconds.

andypugh, thanks for the great advice.
I plan to try it as my next attempt.

However, I also found a problem. index-enable is usually connected to the Encoder module, and the Encoder's Position is also reset. Since the Ethercat servo drive side is not reset, the coordinates are not updated correctly even if the origin return is performed. I would like to support this as well.

You probably should look at how Dominc manages homing for ci402 devices in his component via read and write functions
github.com/dbraun1981/hal-cia402

But I could not get it to work so its crying out for a custom homemod component.

rodw, thanks for the new info. ,

For people who are not good at English, it may be a bit difficult to jump from this forum to other sites. I would like to try to understand. I'm not a LIinuxCNC programmer, so I don't know how to use github. Even with the README.md explanation, I'm not sure if it really does what I want.

For the time being, I would like to scrutinize the information you have given me and think about it.

Thanks.

You don't need to do much.
Linuxcnc's instructions are also helpful (Heading 1.1)
linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/code/building-linuxcnc.html
You will need to install the linuxcnc-uspace-dev.deb to install halcompile if you have not built linuxcnc from source for a run in place install.
So I would then do something like
sudo apt-get install git
cd ~
mkdir dev
cd dev
git clone https://github.com/dbraun1981/hal-cia402
cd hal-cia402
sudo halcopile --install cia402.comp

So over time you may build several pieces of software so we will keep all of our source for these in the ~/dev folder...

Then you will have the component installed and you can use Dominic's samples.

So if dominc changes his code, to update the software, you just need to enter the ~/dev/hal-cia402 folder and type:
git pull
sudo halcopile --install cia402.comp

Finally, if you do decide to clone linuxcnc, that will default to master branch (V 2.10)
If you decide you want to use the 2.9 branch instead you just need to enter the linuxcnc-dev/src folder and type
git checkout 2.9

That changes ths source code in the src folder to be the 2.9 branch then you proceed to make te software.

SO basically thats all you need to know.

Is it an absolute encoder? If it is then the same component could subtract the full turns from the feedback position. 
Add a pin that takes the encoder position as an input, and a pin that outputs a corrected value to the rest of HAL.
