7I96 Plasmac THAC / encoder config question

Yep! Looks like you got it figured out! Thanks for the extra intel for those who come looking.

ok next problem

starting linuxcnc
error
setp requires 2 arguments, 1 given

for this line
"step hm2_[HOSTMOT2](Board).0.encoder.00.velocity

the initial config was made with the 7i96 config tool, I think I am going to convert it and hardcode all off the variables our of the config lines

still trying to figure out why that encoder line is not reading correctly

There’s an example in the plasmac user guide in section 27, but I think the (board) just needs to be changed to 7i96.

You may be better off using Pncconf and unchecking all the extra options then you don't end up with a lot of unnecessary lines. The encoder velocity line for instance is not need in the hal file but is set later by the Configurator.

Thanks, I just went back and reread that section of the manual and figured out that you are completely correct, that is not needed in the initial config

thanks for the fast responses
