Hi,

Great job on this project, I am really impressed with all the tools and features that keep getting added. 

I made a custom board based on the TangBob and I wanted to add it to the setup tool. 
Do you have a tool for building the board.json or have you been making them by hand?

 

ok, sooo

function 3 reads a float and int (6 or 1)
function 1 reads a bit (true/false)
function 5 says illegal function (write coil)
function 6 says illegal data type

What is next to try? I rechecked the vfd settings, and its all "right". Also found out the params are registers (f0.04 = 0Xf004) so that neat. Not actually helpful though.

This is unrelated to the configuration; you need to modify the driver, Sii firmware, and disable Eoe.

@LangdonS,
He does that always, just have a browse through his posts.
@Oli,
Danke schon.

Cool!

Always a good idea to make code available to others in case future users want to achieve what you did!

Cool!

Tell us when you completely finish it!

ding ding. so 8192 IS run/stop. goes from 6 to 1. which is true/false im almost positive.

But i don't have a way to write it. every write command says illegal data or address or function (different ones give different errors).

Do i need to tell it it is a true/false register, and not an int/float? if yes, how? i do not see any syntax for that.

thanks for all the help so far, i feel like were getting close, AND i also understand things better.

From a postgui hal file are some flexhal pins set at startup, with setp. In halshow the value is set, but the spinbox is not populated with that value. How can i force the spinbox to update?

 

This should be close assuming your pin numbers are DB25 parallel port numbers

 

 

so we have 8192 to 8203. all 0 except 8192 which is 6, and seems not writable. others seem writable but do not induce any change.

i have an idea: i will turn the drive back to panel frequency and run control and see if i can see anything change

no documentation at all sadly

As I keep poking, I'm finding there are registers now at 8192 range, but they cant be written? 8192 has a value of 6. 8191/ 8193 etc at 0.

Hm

There is no documentation of registers?
Almost impossible without.

Currently when the motor disables the brake enables but there is a delay so z axis drops a couple centimeters.

How heavy is the Z axis?
This seems like to heavy, so it would need a counterweight, and if so, it will also cause to much stress on the motor and drive trying to keep all that weight in position. Also mitigated by said counterweight.

1 whatever
2 X DIR
3 X STEP
4 Y DIR
5 Y STEP
6 Z DIR
7 Z STEP
8 A DIR
9 A STEP
14 B DIR
16 B STEP
17 PWM
Would have been much better as 4 axis would be standard pins.
