Hello

I need help with the implementation from Axis 2.5.4 to Gmoccapy, i am a neeby in things Linuxcnc. Here is my configfolder:

thank you ever in advance:)

Hallo,

being a newby, that is quiet a complicated configuration.
We need to do the change in various steps, as I do not have such a nice hardware to test here

The biggest stuff will be the change of your custom panel from pyvcp to gladeVCP, as gmoccapy does not support pyvcp!

OK, lets begin:
Make a copy of your config folder!
Open the ini file and delete the entries:
change:
DISPLAY = axis
to
DISPLAY = gmoccapy

open a terminal and enter
linuxcnc
select the new config and start it.

I am sure the config will not start, so please watch the output in the terminal and post it here, so we can take the next step.

Ok, Norbert,here is the first test result:

Error: could not insert module /usr/realtime-3.4-9-rtai-686-pae/modules/linuxcnc/Nullen.ko: Invalid module format
./loadrt.hal:7: exit value: 1
./loadrt.hal:7: insmod for Nullen failed, returned -1
See the output of 'dmesg' for more information.

Is this the same computer?
Linuxcnc has problems to load a realtime component.

This is the relevant part:
but it could be caused, because there is a problem loading the realtime part.
Have you changed any path settings?

Please try to uncomment the following hal files:
try again and report.

Norbert

Together we will be able to redo that part

OK, lets go on with small steps:

Are the other custom comp files also copies of an old system?
The following components seem to be custom ones.
Could you post the code of them, so I can try to see what is wrong, or if they just need to be compiled again under the new OS?

If you do have the source code, you can easy recompile them, i.e. for Nullen:

More Details are in:
comp docs

Servus Norbert

The Comp-files are from the old system.Can be that the source-code is still on the hard disk.
I will be back on Wednesday, I have to go to work tomorrow.

Hallo Siggi,

ok, thats good. What about your pyVCP panel, do you want to integrate that features also to gmoccapy?
If so, I will make you the glade panel and lead you through the integration.

Have you connected the spindle feedback to the gmoccapy.spindle_feedback_bar hal pin?
And also the spindle-at-speed signal to gmoccapy.spindle_at_speed hal pin?
You may want to connect also the hal pin gmoccapy.tooloffset-x and gmoccapy.tooloffset-z

That way you can take advantage of all gmoccapy features.

Please make sure, that the mentioned hal connections need to be made in a separate postgui.hal

Norbert

Ok, next step ,all compiled and Gmoccapy turn on and crashed.

Hallo Siggi,

please do not make the thread so long, by including all the messages as text. Please copy it in a file and post the file, thats makes it easier to follow the thread.

Here is the relevant part:
First of all, never ever edít a hal file in Windows, as you get wrong line endings!

You need to reformat the files,

Rename all the files you need to convert and try May be you have to install dos2unix first.

Then comment out the line 140 of the INI, where you do load the pyvcp.hal, That file can not be loaded, as gmoccapy does not work with pyvcp panels. (I mentioned this already in a previous post)

Report.

Norbert

P.S. I edited this thread to make it easier to follow.
