I guess its possible, You could add a stiff pulldown (say 470 ohm) on TXEN to test
are you sure its not parity related?

Maybe I can get one to try.
(Edit 2 ordered will try to get them running when they arrive is about 10 days)

Does seem that function 2 would make more sense on inputs and 15 on outputs

Thanks Murphy for your answer. I read the entire forum many times without finding what I was looking for.I used marked spindle index pin on the controller. From EC500 V5 documentation:

INDEX can be connected to ordinary NPN type 2 wire Hall switch  

So I tought maybe they didn't put or put better optocoupler on this one since this pin is intended for this use, if needed i'm gonna bypass it. So do think I should use te remora PRUencoder or use the linuxCNC encoder module ? And to do so , do I need to modify my config.txt file to include encoder and upload it again ? I really want this to work

What do you think about a new subfolder?

• Configuring LinuxCNC
  • HAL
    • HAL Examples
    • User-written HAL Components
      
      
      
      Maybe with a sticky at the top explaining what the deal is - i.e. non-mainstream HAL components that may or may not do what you want.
      
      ​​​​​​​If we just have a single thread called 'HAL User Components' it will instantly get polluted with random comments, tangents, and questions on how to use the component(s).
      
      A sub-folder might help keep it clean(ish) for a little while.

Well anyone can just submit a component via pull request to the linuxcnc repo. Not sure if the maintainers test them at all other than making sure they compile. If it's a good an useful component, there's really no reason not to just submit it via pull request.

I suppose some people just post components they aren't really 100% sure about or haven't fully tested. It doesn't really require an unofficial repo to store them, maybe just a place where people can look at it, maybe test it themselves then submit it. They shouldn't just live in some out-of-repo place if they actually do something useful.
