looking for help on basic (sim-)setup

Hello,

I want to work with hal and therefor I'm looking for a simple way to process gcode-files without bothering with limit- or home-switches, homing and whatever might popup errors before gcode-processing.
I created axis- and joint-definitions with pretty big positive and negative limits - to not touch them.

Additionally I used NO_FORCE_HOMING=1 and HOME_IGNORE_LIMITS=yes
... but linuxcnc stil pops up errors like "need to home axis before switching to mdi" and the like.

How can I setup a fake-linuxcnc that just processes gcode-files through motion and trajectory planner, so that I can use the motion-pins in hal?

In you ini for the axis in question you need to follow the settings here.
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config/ini-homing.html#_immediate_homing

Where did you place the NO_FORCE_HOMING=1 in your ini file? It would need to be under the [TRAJ] section.

yes, NO_FORCE_HOMING is in TRAJ section.

following the recommendations from link did not change anything.
Stil get the errors

What version of Linuxcnc are you trying to use?

master build as uspace only (no rt-kernel).

To understand hal I don't care about jitter of servo-thread ...

Would you mind posting the ini file you are trying to use.

I believe in Master the homing info in the link I posted needs to be set in the [JOINT_N] section(s) rather than the [AXIS_N] as in the previous versions of Linuxcnc, and it looks like the docs have not been updated to reflect those changes yet.

No, I don't mind

I started with a copy of sim.axis/gantry_mm and for so, the tags where already placed at joints.
After your hint, I just copied the tags to the axis sections too, without removing them from the joints.

axis-UI has different sliders for feed-override and fast-move-override.
I found one feed-override input on motion only. So how should I wire the signals for correct usage?

Ok, I changed to gmoccapy and the homing macro seems to work.

The cursor behaviour is a little bit confusing, but after all, it works.
Thank you.
