ok, found the bug, sorry, is fixed in main and dev

I've attached the config, this is a basic test setup, axis setups work. With the WLED expansion plugin loaded it will compile/flash/run LinuxCNC no issues, but when I add a Blink plugin, and tie it to the WLED0 blue LED it won't compile.

Cheers.
Russell.

 

Hi PCW,

I found a card locally that seems similar to the Sainsmart breakout you had mentioned. I'll add the link below. It says its for Mach3 and LinuxCnc, would this work with my Mesa 7i96s. Thanks so much for your help. Interface Board CNC 5 Axis

Thank you, 


I managed to correct 2 errors myself in addition to the 2 you indicated to me but I can't find this one.

I use abs position, when set to zero i reset encoder multiturn position.
If you need a ini setup for abs, late copy this side a config.

Oh, damned... Thank you for the brief explanation.
The root of all the trouble seems I understood this totally wrong.
I thought "selected axis" and also the "increment" was taken from the AXIS screen- both can be chosen there 
Sorry for my sillyness. Now I understood that I need to connect the MPG in the HAL via in/outputs.

Thank you both of you

Thank you so much PCW and Jimmy, I will do more research into the options you have both suggested and see which would be easier for me to implement.
