Retrofitting a TOS FNG 32 NC

Yes certanly. Attached file is the report from Linuxcnc.

I wrote halrun and got:
halcmd:

I wrote loadrt  and got:
hostmot2:bash: loadrt: command not found
 

Ok, it seems that the 7i94 setup is correct

in your attachment, this is the important part...

Debug file information:
Note: Using POSIX realtime
./my_LinuxCNC_machine.hal:22: parameter or pin 'hm2_7i94.0.stepgen.timer-number' not found
1672
Stopping realtime threads
Unloading hal components
Note: Using POSIX realtime

comment out or delete line 22 in your hal file, try again and see if you can interpret the next error if there is one

i dont know why pncconf adds that line, but you can see it in my hal file as well, commented out...

BTW, "loadrt" is a command to load a realtime component of linuxcnc, in my previous message the line you should type is "loadrt hostmot2", which will load the hostmot2 driver for the mesa cards. loadrt followed by nothing results in an error
 

This looks like a pncconf bug:

./my_LinuxCNC_machine.hal:22: parameter or pin 'hm2_7i94.0.stepgen.timer-number' not found

I would comment out the:

setp hm2_7i94.0.stepgen.timer-number 1

line, or replace it with:

setp hm2_7i94.0.encoder.timer-number 1

I removed the line and it still wont launch.
The report looks a little bit different this time.

 

Sorry it dissapered in my reply.
When I write loadrt hostmot2 I get:
bash: loadrt: command not found

Am I missing hostmot2?

Post your hal and ini files.

loadrt is a hal command, it will not run on its own in a terminal.

initiate hal: "halrun"
then you will see a prompt "halcmd"
then enter the loadrt lines.

although, i think this is irrelevant now because i think your 7i94 setup is correct.

That error suggests that LinuxCNC did not unload completely

I would try running:

halrun -U

and then try running LinuxCNC again


 

Okay. I understand what you mean now. I didnt know what "halcmd" was supposed to mean at first but now I get it
I get:
Note: Using POSIX realtime
hm2: loading Mesa HostMot2 driver version 0.15

   

I wrote
"kev@debian:~$ halrun -U
Note: Using POSIX realtime"

but I have the same result. I also restarted my computer.

I attached custom.hal also 

I dont know why, but your custom.hal file looks suspiciously like my main hal file.

delete everything in your custom.hal file. it sholdnt contain anything at this point...
