Want to test MPG was created by tecno

Hi guys,

Just received my WHB04-6 MPG that is wire connected.

[HAL]
# required
TWOPASS = ON
# the base machine
HALFILE = tecnoplasma.hal
# the plasmac component connections
HALFILE = plasmac.tcl
# the plasmac machine connections
HALFILE = tecnoplasma_connections.hal
# WHBO4 MPG
xhc_whb04b_6.hal
# use this for customisation after GUI has loaded
POSTGUI_HALFILE = postgui.hal
# required
HALUI = halui

Testing OK as standalone but nothing in LCNC = shows Lost RF but this is not wireless MPG

Any hints of what might be wrong?

Has anybody made a fancy HAL with bells and whistles for plasmaC + Gmoccapy?

Cheers
Bengt

UDEV was missing and some editing within xhc-whb04b-6 halfile and the MPG is up and running.

# WHBO4 MPG
xhc_whb04b_6.hal

HALFILE = was missing

Above on my laptop SIM GMOCCAPY

My RPi4 suddenly it does not boot

So I managed to get boot functioning on the RPi4

But nothing works on the MPG with PlasmaC.

Anybody having this type of MPG working with PlasmaC willing to share suitable halfile?

I do believe my new USB thumb memory said not to be Linux compatible might have caused the SSD boot havoc, the whole system freezes kind of and nothing works.

You will probably need to rearrange some hal logic to suit the pendant.

I use a XHC-HB04 so I don't know if this will be any help but my hal file is attached.

Here errors I get now, beginning to think that RF and FIXED cable variants are not the same. I hope I am wrong

To straighten up my MPG model is LHB04-6

So is it so that I need yet another hal-file for this pendant?

forum.linuxcnc.org/24-hal-components/378...lved?start=50#157515

Is this compiled to the existing HB04-6 ??

What am I missing ?

TEST MPG HAL just to see that I can select axis

LCD get updated so this code works

loadusr -W xhc-whb04b-6 -HfsB

# ABSOLUTE POSITION LCD
net pdnt.pos-x halui.axis.x.pos-feedback => whb.halui.axis.x.pos-feedback
net pdnt.pos-y halui.axis.y.pos-feedback => whb.halui.axis.y.pos-feedback
net pdnt.pos-z halui.axis.z.pos-feedback => whb.halui.axis.z.pos-feedback

Using AXIS and I can not select axis.

# "selected axis" signals
net pdnt.axis.x.select     whb.halui.axis.x.select      => halui.axis.x.select halui.joint.0.select
net pdnt.axis.y.select     whb.halui.axis.y.select      => halui.axis.y.select halui.joint.1.select                      
net pdnt.axis.Z.select     whb.halui.axis.z.select      => halui.axis.z.select halui.joint.2.select

HAL

# Joint 0
# axis enable chain
newsig emcmot.0.enable bit
sets emcmot.0.enable FALSE
net emcmot.0.enable <= joint.0.amp-enable-out
net emcmot.0.enable => hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.stepgen.00.enable pid.0.enable
