I'm having E-stop troubles.
I have the E-stop hooked up to pin 10 on my breakout board. In stepconf wizard, on parallel port setup, I have Pin 10 as ESTOP in. Pins 1, 8, 9, 11-16 = unused. Pins 2-7 = x,y,z Pin 17 Charge Pump.
In Hal Meter, If I select
parport.0.Pin-10-in, status changes from FALSE to TRUE when pressing the E-stop on the mill.
parport.0.Pin-10-in-not, status changes from TRUE to FALSE.
estop-ext, status changes from FALSE to TRUE
estop-out, status does not change. It does however change when pressing the estop icon on the EMC2 main window.
estop-out is false when in safe mode
I find towards the bottom of my .hal file,
net estop-out <= iocontrol.0.user-enable-out
net estop-out => iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in
I'm just getting things setup currently. Before I go crazy I want some safety first. I know E-stop to software isn't the best method, but it's a start.
