Basic Mill Config Using hal_gpio

forum.linuxcnc.org/media/kunena/attachme...8/my-mill-config.zip
Link to driver:
linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/drivers/hal_gpio.html

Note unless SPI is disabled in /boot/broadcom/config.txt GPIO07 & GPIO08 can not be used.

Sorry I'm not going to be gentle. Users need to be told. I'll assume you aren't a child.

Yeah Tommy's right. RPi's don't have a parallel port. I'm not too sure where you got the idea Rapsberry Pis have one. The error report is pretty verbose in reporting what is wrong.

Arduino seems to be a lot of cut & pasting other people's code.

Once again this is a situation where users don't read the docs and just jump in head first without doing any research.
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/hal_parport.9.html

This is the driver you need to use. Please read this. And take the time to read the documentation, the devs put a lot of effort into this, please take the time to read them.

Beware that unless SPI is not disabled in /boot/broadcom/config.txt you wont be able to use GPIO07 & GPIO08.

Thanks I'll get this installed tonight!
 

Yup, already tried raising that one as well, unfortunately it didn't help.

There is also the [TRAJ] section with speed limits
MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY = 25.00
so raise that to probably 100 as in the display section.

From your error report
Linux parallel port 0 not found
But i have no idea what should be instead of it for RPI as i do not use them.

Hey, guys.
I've been trying to get my feedrate above 1500 and can't seem to accomplish that. I've gone through the accel and velocity tests in pcncconf and found the numbers that work with my machine. I can jog at high feedrates, but any jobs or mdi commands cap me at a lovely 1500 feedrate. Can somebody look over my ini and tell me what line I've missed? Is it a Qtdragon setting?
Thanks in advance

Realizing now I might have misinterpreted the above posts as meaning a useable version was available.
If that's not the case I'm curious how long it will be till it might be ready?
Not trying to rush things if it's not done, just trying to get a gauge on ETA after realizing maybe it's not already in the repo or ready for release.

So the answer is 

5.2.1 Initialization parameters
Set P02-31 to 1 to initialize the drive parameters, and the drive needs to be restarted after the setting is completed.

P02.31
0: No operation 1: Restore factory values (except P00/P01 group) 2: Clear fault records

So NO that does not tune the drive.
. 

7I96 + 7I85 configuration with step/dir index on 7I85
and PWM on STEP04 pin. DIR04 pin is left as GPIO
so it can be used as enable, direction, or whatever.

Hi RodW

Thanks so much for your effort.

What I have done so far to get my gantry moving is just tie the home markers for the 2 X axes together

net mydigitalinx lcec.0.0.mydigitalin => cia402.0.mydigitalin cia402.1.mydigitalin

I then modified the cia402.comp file to accommodate. I Use the index pulse from each axis for the final position. I am away from the machine until Friday, I will upload the files then.

I just loosen the coupler once homed to adjust the squareness. It seems to be working. (only need to adjust once)

Yes this is awesome. I hope to get around to setting it up in the next few days.
Is this on the stable repo now or should I switch to dev?

When following the video on setup, and using stepconfig wizard i get this error. Linuxcnc PI 5. When looking at my configurations and selecting my config there are not any details and i get the attached error.
Im a newbie, but do have Arduino experience. Please be gentle, lol..

Judging from other builds, there will be lots of questions, so best to start your own thread and keep it there.
I'll look here daily I would say. You can also contact me by creating an issue on github. I'll get notified then, even if I happen to not be here for a while.
