Hey people I loaded a custom bitfile into my 6i24 board with stepgens in the config file. I would like to do a test to create a bare bones stepper output on some of the pins. Let's go through some halcmds...
Code:
$ halcmd -kf
loadrt hostmot2
loadrt hm2_pci
loadrt threads name1=card_thread period1=1000000
addf hm2_5i24.0.read card_thread
addf hm2_5i24.0.write card_thread
start
show pin hm2_5i24.0.stepgen.00
Component Pins:
Owner Type Dir Value Name
9 bit IN FALSE hm2_5i24.0.stepgen.00.control-type
9 s32 OUT 0 hm2_5i24.0.stepgen.00.counts
9 float OUT 0 hm2_5i24.0.stepgen.00.dbg_err_at_match
9 float OUT 0 hm2_5i24.0.stepgen.00.dbg_ff_vel
9 float OUT 0 hm2_5i24.0.stepgen.00.dbg_pos_minus_prev_cmd
9 float OUT 0 hm2_5i24.0.stepgen.00.dbg_s_to_match
9 s32 OUT 0 hm2_5i24.0.stepgen.00.dbg_step_rate
9 float OUT 0 hm2_5i24.0.stepgen.00.dbg_vel_error
9 bit IN FALSE hm2_5i24.0.stepgen.00.enable
9 float IN 0 hm2_5i24.0.stepgen.00.position-cmd
9 float OUT 0 hm2_5i24.0.stepgen.00.position-fb
9 float IN 0 hm2_5i24.0.stepgen.00.velocity-cmd
9 float OUT 0 hm2_5i24.0.stepgen.00.velocity-fb
my question is what commands should I run to see look at step and direction using and oscilloscope? The following did not seem to work:
Code:
setp hm2_5i24.0.stepgen.00.step_type 0
setp hm2_5i24.0.stepgen.00.velocity-cmd 12.0
setp hm2_5i24.0.stepgen.00.enable true
Any suggestions? THANKS!
