My little lathe is doing funny things with the z axis.
The halmeter menu cannot find the joint.1.motor-pos-cmd output to
monitor it.
That can't possibly be the fault of the 5i25.
In fact, even without a 5i25 that pin should exist.
If num_joints was set to 1 then you wouldn't have that pin.
Otherwise I suspect that you are looking in the wrong place. Signals
rather then Pins tab?
No, I was looking in the pins tab, but was looking for
joint.1.motor.pos.cmd, which does not seem to exist.
Because theres no motor power though, I can look from here. And
joint.1.motor-pos-cmd does exist now...
But neither joint.0 or joint.1 motor-pos-cmd existed at 16:50 this
afternoon, with power applied to the BoB and motors.
Me goes wandering off in the general direction of the fridge for my
nightly near beer.
Never did get it, went to bed instead, back killing me.

Gene it might not be fun but it sured beats the alternative.
At got up Tues to see the Orthopedic Dr and about a knee brace ended
up swinging by the emergency room on the way home and not making it back
to the house until late today Thursday. It seems a ghost from a
twenty-five year old surgery decided to take another whack at me. You
know, it hurt just as bad now as it had the first time. We
keep getting older but every fun day is one more than we had before.
Got up this morning and I believe I have fixed it. I first went thru the
x stuff, combining net names etc so the signal paths were more obvious.
Without bob or motor power, x still worked. Nuked the whole Z stanza,
and copy/pasted the X stuff to a Z stanza, then edited where needed to
change x to z and joints and stepgens to 1. Also temporarily made it
home individually. Even passes the two_pass now which it didn't before.
So theoreticly, all I need to do is calibrate the scale, and soft
limits, and TLM should be usable again.
But before I set limits, which are stated as being in machine units,
is this the figure from joint.n.position-cmd when the machine is driven
to that particular position?
