PathPilot 2.0.2 adding rtlib's

Awesome. Care to tell us the details?

I can't talk about it, but what i'm showing give you a way to make component working with new version of PathPilot.

I assume you are using the components from 1.9.x ?

Yes

I wish you were able to explain a bit on what you did to make this happen. My email is This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you want to keep it private.

You can apply update UI by overwrite file, and then step by step fix problem until done!

I am desperately needing to add the missing rtlib files to pathpilot 2.0.2 such as classic ladder, mux16 etc. I am unable to build or find the correct ones. I even tried installing Linuxcnc 2.8.0-pre1-3696-gcb7d6bc onto the pathpilot mint OS to steal the files from that install. They don't work. Can anyone help me to figure this out? I had everything working under 1.9 but I would like to upgrade to 2.0.

If you're still struggling, I can tell you what I did to be able to compile at least one HAL component (toggle2nist) and getting it to work with PP2.0.2.

I installed Linux Mint 17.3 (same version PP is running) in a VM, downloaded kernel 4.11.9, patch-4.11.9-rt7 (again, same as PP 2.0.2 is running) and LinuxCNC 2.8.0 to the home folder. Following the instructions from building linuxcnc-dev on ubuntu 16.04 preempt-rt kernel and Complete HOW-TO Linux Mint 18.1 32/64 RTAI or PREEMPT with RIP install or deb , I built kernel 4.11.9-rt7 and rebooted. I had to install quite a lot of modules to fulfill all the dendencies. When that was done, I compiled LinuxCNC, but I did not do "sudo make setuid" and rip-environment, as shown in the first post. I packed together the linuxCNC folder and copied it to my regular PathPilot install and unpacked it in /home/operator/repos/tormach_linuxcnc. After I had verified I could start PP, I tried to compile my HAL component. Just trying halcompile gave me a command not found, so I had to give the path to both halcompile and the component. In addition, I had to copy several rtapi-files over to the same directory as the component to compile. After I had copied all necessary files over, the component compiled and was copied over to ~/tmc/rtlib and I could use it in my hal-files.

Hopefully this can be of help to someone. Otherwise, all this typing has been a waste of time...

That is awesome. I tried to replicate but not having any luck.

Any chance I could get you to compile these for me?

charge_pump.so
classicladder_rt.so
limit2.so
lincurve.so
mux4.so
mux8.so
xhc_hb04_util.so

Thank you in advance if you are able to help. If you are interested in editing the python code I can tell you what I did there to add external buttons.

Sure. I'll try to get it done this afternoon. I take it you're also running kernel 4.11.9-rt7 x86-64 PREEMPT?

Hopefully, I'll be able to add the needed code in the HAL-files, but if not, I'd love to know how to add buttons otherwise.

I've just sent the files to your email address. I don't know if I would be able to attach them here, so I figured email was better...
