Changing that does not make the hal pins from the call back file work for me. I can only see the hal pins created by the hal glade widgets.

If you're just looking for a schematic, you should take a closer look at KiCad.

Hi djdock99

I'm new here and I saw that you've retrofitted an MH800W.

I just acquired an MH800W and I've decided to completely rebuild the electrical and CNC components.

I'm going to use Mesa boards and a LinuxCNC interface.

Could we discuss about these modifications?

I have some original Maho documentation if you're interested.

Did you have any problems preserving the KDS driver?

If you'd like, we can discuss this here or by email if you don't want to clutter the forum.

I'm going to create complete documentation and a detailed log of my retrofit; this could be useful to future users. I'll create a new thread on this forum when my machine is complete and finished.

See you soon

I re-found this post looking for something else. 

If I was drawing the schematic again today, I would probably use Miro. 
That is cloud-based too, but it is basically for drawing such diagrams.

I tried something with your files. This changes made the pins show up, but still many errors displayed in terminal.

just found this manual matic pendant, but teensy 4.1 is too expensive ower price board, can i use teensy 2.0 this ? lot lot cheapen, and what need dong encoder or other library, ?not understand english good, need change arduino ide encoder library to new and were have ? i come old teensy 2.0 USB pendant all time only errorrs whit encoder.h
no declare scope etc. i not know what this all mean. not need diplay , only encoder and rotary SW change acis and scale. can move XYZ remote controll. were i found code teensy 2.0 can use. this.

   
Dear
I m trying to configure a 5 axis machine with W axis for the movment of the machine according to the B,C axis anglew move
the linuxcnc start normaly with no errors but the F1,F2  buttons are not working to start the machine
lcnc 2.8.4-1-gb7824717b on w
The machine works with diferent configuration normaly
Any sugestions?

Perfect. Thank you for your help!

update from today.
The same program is running OK today and holes are round.

I have opened, modified and re-saved the Glade file in the newer Glade editor. The Glade file seems to open fine but none of the hal pins created in the handler file show up. But I have no idea how to fix the Python file. I tried running it through 2to3 but it didn't find anything to change. I REALY don't understand Python and I was barely able to make this one sort of work originally. (The fact that most of the included Linuxcnc example config files don't seem to work for similar reasons isn't helping.)

Hi,
(I am having problems with embeding pictures in this forum, I have no idea how to make it display them)

these are two pictures from yesterday ​​​

This picture is from one of the precious jobs (no problem here)

I also got this today, just as I turned on linuxcnc.

You are welcome, still lots to be done, can you share your configuration, does it always freeze on the point cloud? I'd like to replicate. Time spiking meaning the servo thread? Can you share that as well?

Well,  LinuxCNC found the card so it does not seem to be an issue
with the PCIE slot or the 6I25 bus interface.

What is the actual error when you have the 7I77 connected?

 

Pncconf is a bit confusing because the num columm contains either channel
numbers (1 digit) or GPIO numbers (3 digits). One main thing to remember
is that you don't really need to care about the pin numbers for the main functions.
as the firmware maps these to the proper pins.

With G540 firmware the stepgens for example are mapped in a logical sequence:

0=G540 X
1=G540 Y
2=G540 Z
3=G540 A

So you just use the channel number "NUM" in pncconf to map the stepgens appropriately

Also you can get a list of G540 function  to channel and GPIO pins with:

sudo measflash --device 5i25 --dbname1 g540 --readhmid
