Pressbrake CNC Control Setup Questions

Any PWMgen related line (like setp pwmgen.01.offset-mode 1)
can be copied directly from the sample 7I97 configuration.

i get this error, tried adding the board in the ini file ans the same happened.
tried swapping for hm2_7i92.0. as well but it gives this error

im trying to get to zero erros or maybe just one which would be the lacking analog input which i suppose i can get later

Sorry about my previous post, I had forgotten that you are trying to convert a 7I97 configuration to a 7I92T/7I77 one.

Is that error from LinuxCNC or halcmd?

If halcmd, you need to launch it with:

halcmd -i <INI file>

Also you don't need to use the ini name substitutions,
you can use use the hm2_xxxx name

The only thing I did was launch ./bender in that directory, with the hal changed. the ini file is the same as the archive you posted to keep the machine parameters.
the screen launches now but it encounters that error instantly.

so i should also launch that command before ./bender or should i add that paragraph somewhere else?

sorry im quite new to this working environment

I would just sidestep that issue by not using the name substitution

That is, in an editor, globally replace "[HMOT](CARD0)" with hm2_7i92

Also I notice that the thread order is not correct, the
addf [HMOT](CARD0).read thread1

should be the first addf

addf [HMOT](CARD0).write thread1

should be the last addf

Hello  andypugh 

How did you create that table for letting user to input that bending data ?
And how would linuxcnc interact with that data ?
I make a project with the same logic as you,making a tabel for inputting bending data,then i will convert them to Gcode and send to Linuxcnc
but dont know how to create the table for inputting data
Thanks so much
 

The press-brake controller I showed here did not use G-code at all. (That was the fun part of the project, for me)

It uses standalone HAL logic to operate the backstop and ram, and the GUI reads the bend data direct from the table.

It has been years since I looked at it, though, so at this point I am fuzzy on the details.
