What about the "rawcounts"? when i quickly had a look at them in halscope they seemed to have "0" at a fixed location, do you think that's something i could use in some way?

Is dist-upgrade ever a good idea?

Yes, when you download an ISO, it might be several months old, so that will update to the latest stuff for that distro, including kernels and stuff that "might break things".

Yes he/it is.

The STEP/DIR output voltage will be the 7I96 5V supply voltage
if there is no load. Any load will lower the output voltage.
So it could be low supply voltage, or a load on the output
The output resistance is around 50 Ohms so a 10 mA load will drop
the output voltage by about 0.5V

ahhh thanks pete!  i just came across that just a few minutes ago. i thought that looked suspect. must be a bug in jt’s config tool because thats straight out of mesaCT. 

quick question, any reason i cant get more than 4.45v out of my pwm?  ive checked everything on the hardware side and its all good there. no matter what i do, i cant get more than 4.45v max from the pwm

Dont merge anything just yet. me and my friend have spent the last 3 days trying to figure out the shit outta this problem. we have environment configured, we can switch uart, but we are very stuck and out of ideas. We are trying to switch SPI channels from 1 to 2 and/or 4, but we just dont know what variable we are missing/not configured. It works mostly but the MOSI doesnt seem to work but the MISO does. SPI1 works fine, but we cant figure out how to switch to 2

No outputs are GPIO

7I96 isolated output hal pins are:

hm2_7i96s.0.ssr.00.out-00
hm2_7i96s.0.ssr.00.out-01
hm2_7i96s.0.ssr.00.out-02
hm2_7i96s.0.ssr.00.out-03
hm2_7i96s.0.ssr.00.out-04
hm2_7i96s.0.ssr.00.out-05
 

If you want help, you will have to upload your hal & ini files, otherwise no one knows exactly what you are doing.

Heh. It's as if you actually know a lot about this, and have been doing it a long time.

I changed hm2_7i96.0.dpll.01.timer-us from -50 to -250, and the symptom went away. (First try, I changed all 4 dpll values by -200, but it turned out changing the others wasn't needed. I'm guessing they're not used?)

Thanks! Oh -- also, hm2_7i96.0.packet-error-total stays 0.

ok so i made it out to the shop and have a rudimentary pwm signal running. but i am sill having some problems with it. it works ok from the mesa to the pwm module, i get 2.5v-4.5v when i run the spindle. my min speed is 12k and my max is 24k, so those numbers make sense, although is there a way to get closer to 5v out for max speed?

on my module, i get a constant 8.5v out which i think might be a bad module so i have one on the he way, supposed to be here to tomorrow. 

but i still cant get either the spindle on, flood, or mist pins to work.  in hal meter, it shows the pins toggling, but physically nothing happens. out of curiosity the three of them map to gpio.00.out etc, which gpio.[00-09].in are all of my inputs. is this right on a mesa? when i changed all of them to 10-12, i get error saying pin not found.
