Hi

Oops, I forgot two explain:

I get E-stop and limit switches correctly.

Yes the macine is runnig in axis, showing usual moves... Usinf the LinuxCNC engraving.

It's on my test configuration, witch was always runnig fine with parports.
Same L297 boars with small steppers to see things moving.
Checked all with Fluke hand oscillopscope.

NO output signal seams to be driven... Maybe a watchdog-issue ?

to make a test I used pure pncconf ... so it should be fine.

Mike

AND
NO also in tune test they do not move!

Does the built in hm2-stepper example config work? (as far as step and dir go)

you have edited the HAL file.
It mentions LEDs in the hostmot2 loading line - PNCconf does not configure LEDs
does the 7i43 have LEDS?
remove the num_leds=-1 from line 9 of the mesaCNC.hal file.
it is unnecessary anyways as -1 is the default

It shouldn't matter but lets start there...

Salu

Yes PCW, your idea was a good hint.

The simple demo runs fine...

Now I can do debugging myself why the other config doesn't like me. ;-()
