1 of 3 to output // 7i73 MPG not functioning

If I understand Peters message there is no need to have software MPG thus the code from PNCCONF should work.

I think the encoder side is OK but the example also shows you how to set up the axis select with mux4 and by the sound of it you have totally chosen to ignore my suggestion.

If you are not using a binary coded switch as the example expects, you are on your own to work out how to map switch positions to an axis select

Sorry not so at all Rod, PCW jumped in and had another opinion, awaiting his reply how he wants to do it as he should know how to.

My hal is a mess from PNCCONF and what is remarkable there is no 7i73 hal MPG examples anywhere.
Was recommended to buy 7i73 for my setup but now I am like fish on dry land.

As I get no reply how to do it the 7i73 PNCCONF way I did it the linuxcnc.org/docs/html/examples/mpg.html way.




Now to start tinkering of LUT5 to get indicator to flash when MPG is active.

Question

How do I net following
net mpg <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i73.0.1.input-03-not when it is FALSE

to
net ?????? => hm2_7i76e.0.7i73.0.1.output-15

:ohmy:

# Activate MPG - ON flashing light in frontpanel

net light <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i73.0.1.input-03
net light => hm2_7i76e.0.7i73.0.1.output-15

So now to get the output to flash.

You can use siggen to make an output flash (also need an and2).
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/siggen.9.html If you already have other and2s in your config, you will need to adjust the and2 count and pin names accordingly.

Hi Todd,

Just back from my shop and this is what I have done before your input, all working now as wanted.






As always I am much appreciated for all your kind support and help here.

Now I have to change to GMOCCAPY and install NATIVECAM as I have the basics ironed out.

Cheers
Bengt

Glad to hear things are progressing well for you. Sounds like you are almost out of the weeds.
I do not use Gmoccapy or Nativcam, so I won't be of much help there.

Slowly but getting forward day by day and learning my ways in the weed

I am sure others will chime in when time comes, I know Norbert will give support if he has time and FernV also.

Have a nice weekend
Bengt
