motion.digital -- reset

I didn't read the post completely so my suggestion was not valid here...

But Interesting topic.

When i find the time to develop these type of comp (really not so difficult ... the difficulty is having the time to read all the .cc files that tell you the exact way to do it) .... for sure I post it here.

Sorry for bringing this post up, but i wanted a fanuc- or siemens-like behaviour: upon reset (ABORT), just reset all outputs.
For this just add


for (n = 0; n < emcmotConfig->numDIO; n++) {
*(emcmot_hal_data->synch_do[n]) = 0;
*(emcmot_hal_data->synch_di[n]) = 0;
}


in command.c and compile linuxcnc

Resetting the inputs is probably a bad idea.

Why do you think so?
I have it working for a while perfectly,

so what i do is the following, i use the inputs and outputs to do M functions synchronized with the interpreter and the plc.
Fanuc and Siemens just set for one plc cycle the input and then reset it so you latch the current m function in the plc.

the thing is that if you use this inputs in the plc and then press reset button it will keep the last state without being able to reset them until you set or reset them in the cnc, i dont think this behavior is of any good...

Because the inputs _should_ take the value of the driving HAL pin. The reading part of the system has no business changing the signal value. 

thats true, im sorry, the inputs are not reset, just copy the part from init here
i reset just the outputs

for (n = 0; n < emcmotConfig->numDIO; n++) {
*(emcmot_hal_data->synch_do[n]) = 0;
}

thanks Andy for making me noticing i wrote it bad here
