7i76: pwm output stuck high was created by johnbl
Hi,

I have a 7i96+7i76 combo, and have a PWM fan connected to one the StepGen (converted to PWM) outputs on the 7i76.

I use the following to control the fan in LinuxCNC:
Code:
net case_fan_ena => hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.02.enable net case_fan_pwm => hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.02.value setp hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.02.output-type 1 setp hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.02.scale 100 sets case_fan_pwm 30 sets case_fan_ena 1

When the boards are powered on, the pwm output is off as expected.
However when I quit LinuxCNC, or make a mistake in my config and LCNC fails to start, the pwm output is stuck high, and the fan spins like crazy. Is this expected?

you can use a shutdown file to get all set off
if you use a coustom M-code to do pwm its also set to off during a e-stop

The 7I96 step/dir outputs default to high when un-driven so you might try using the inverted
output (the StepN- pin) and inverting the PWM polarity:

setp hm2_7i96.0.pwmgen.02.out0.invert_output true

Actually after more testing, what I initially wrote is not completely correct.

The PWM fan is connected on a STEP- pin, and as PCW suggested with invert_output = true.
When LinuxCNC exits, the STEP- pin is low.

However, when launching LinuxCNC and a driver fails to load (I'm developing a rt driver so it happens often...), the STEP- pin become stuck high. It's very annoying...
Any ideas?

Is the watchdog enabled?

I think so. I have
Code:
setp hm2_7i96.0.watchdog.timeout_ns 10000000

This is the kind of log I get when it happens, suggesting that the mesa board is properly reset, but somehow isn't.
Code:
atv_vfd: rtapi_app_main: Operation now in progress (-115) ./gm1.hal:19: waitpid failed /home/cnc/src/linuxcnc/bin/rtapi_app atv_vfd ./gm1.hal:19: /home/cnc/src/linuxcnc/bin/rtapi_app exited without becoming ready ./gm1.hal:19: insmod for atv_vfd failed, returned -1 Shutting down and cleaning up LinuxCNC... hm2_eth: HostMot2 ethernet driver unloaded hm2: unloading

If the watchdog bit it should have set the step- pins low
Does the red " /INIT" LED light up when LinuxCNC fails to load?
What firmware are you using?

No red led, no.

Is this what you need about the firmware?

However when LCNC exits properly the red LED lights up.

Right so it looks like there's a window in the start-up where the watchdog has not been enabled yet (because a number of time consuming non RT setup tasks need to be done)
but a failed module load can cause an exit.

I will take a look at the driver to see if there's a way to mitigate this
