PathPilot Lathe with 6 place turret

Thanks' Andy
I'll work on that when I this thing out of estop. It is a stepper on the turret.

Installed 7i76 , fired it up and it goes to update software ,here is the code it logged.

tormach_lathe_5i25a.hal:224: Pin 'hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.input-00' does not exist

This is the Hal code is doesn't like

net estop-out <= iocontrol.0.user-enable-out
########################################################################
# estop noise debounce
net machine-ok-raw hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.input-00 => machine-ok-db.in #<<<this is line 224
# use the setp line below without a machine attached
# this isn't useful unless a properly flashed 5i25 is present
net machine-ok-debounced machine-ok-db.out => estop-latch.0.ok-in

Beware, that you have not disabled it, Pathpilot will overwrite the 5I25's 7I76 firmware with Tormach firmware

tormach_lathe_5i25a.hal:224: Pin 'hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.input-00' does not exist

This is expected if

1. 5I25 firmware is wrong OR
2. No 12/24V field power on the 7I76 OR
3. No 5V power on the 7I76

Thanks'
I didn't realize that it was looking for external power, got that hooked up now and I'm to the Pathpilot screen.

Now before I do something dumb again ,is in.0 looking for gnd to release the estop or 5 volts, and where should I tap the 5 volts from if it needs that ?

I'll answer this one. +8-32 volts

I'm starting to question my sanity by not going with normal linuxcnc.

Pathpilot see's that the e-stop is being released (machine -ok), but will not release from e-stop .This is the same code that worked on my BOB ( was the code ,I've made so many changes to e-stop that I'm lost now ). It looks to me that the input lets the UI know that the e-stop is released ,but isn't letting the rest of the controller know that the e-stop is off.

Thanks' Andy - Back online! I was soooo close to installing linuxcnc.

The hale file that gets it out of e-stop is attached.

On a side note, I thought my computer power supply went out, as it was tripping my ground fault. Ran a ground wire from lathe to computer and it took care of it. (computer is not mounted to lathe).

I've made changes to oracchanger.comp and tried to halcompile on my Pathpilot machine. I tried apt-get install linuxcnc-dev and it won't install on this machine. I have another computer running linuxcnc , I halcompliled it ,made a copy of the oracchanger.ko file and copied it to the PathPilot rtlib directory and now I get ..........


'/home/operator/tmc/rtlib/oracchanger.ko' : -1 Invalid module format


.............in the log file

Any thoughts ?

Thanks'
