Pin #ing Issue in HAL files

[sokrdz]

Hi,

Starting off, really appreciate the tool, it's a clean version of pnconf and has helped me a lot so far so thank you for developing it.

My board configuration: 7i96s + 7i77 (via DB25) firmware:7i96s_7i77d.bin LinuxCNC 2.93 Mesaflash 3.4.9 Python 3.11.2

Issue only seems to be with respect to 7i77 pins although haven't confirmed with host board yet.

Just starting out and creating a configuration with only 1 axis (X) and it seems MesaCT generates the following hal file that causes LinuxCNC to error upon start up.

Debug message: './main.hal:77: Pin 'hm2_7i96s.0.7i77.0.4.analogout0' does not exist'

Reading Mesa documentation, pin out should be:

"(float in) .7i77.0.1.analogoutN: (N = 0 to 5) This controls the analog output of the 7I77." Updating .hal file line from 4 to 1 fixes issue.

Pin outs in io.hal file are also not starting at 0 also.

'# Inputs net joint-0-home joint.0.home-sw-in <= hm2_7i96s.0.7i77.0.3.input-01' Updating .hal file from 3 to 0 fixes error.

Is there something that is missing in my set up configuration or is this a bug?

Thanks, Michael

Looks like a bug, I'll look into fixing it.

Can you attach your ini file?

Attached is the .ini and edited .hal

test_x_only_7i77_ini.txt

main_hal.txt

This might take a while to sort out, I'm thinking I need to totally rewrite the hal section.

Got the port number for the daughter card sorted out. On to the next bug...

Fixed the analog port numbers for 7i96s. On to the next bug...

Everything should be fixed if not just open a new issue.
