Hi All,
First post and a linuxcnc noob (have some experience with linux waaay back).
I'm missing something basic, in short the comms with the board don't seem to be working properly, the first HAL command that gets sent errors with a pin not found and it turns on the red init LED on the board. So my setup can see the board but doesn't seem to be communicating. I'm going to look into the network settings and some tests I saw in the
post
.
Any other suggestions would be welcome.
What I've tried/done so far:
-setup the network, ping to the board on 10.10.10.10 holds steady at around 0.07ms
-I configured the network through settings windows not the files (I didn't do both).
-Mesaflash can see the board if I use the "ETHER" option, NOTE if I specify the board name "7i96" it can't find the board?.
-I've tried pnconf to generate the file (similar error)
-I've tried mesact to generate the file (similar error)
-I've edited the hal file and just added a comment to show that the error is on a different line (ie I'm reading the right file).
-The board is connected to a commercial 5v power supply (ie not a usb/phone one).
Below is the start of the HAL file, it fails on the "setp" line (error below the HAL file):
