servotogo-problems

Hello all,

A brand New year and yet new problems.

Due to an improper grounding I ruined my encoder card of my machine, this card gave me trough a driver-IC the proper quadrature signals for a servotogo 8 axis board and it worked. So I changed this card and tough that I was punished enough. But Emc still doesn't read my encoders, still with the software provided with the board I see that the encoder signals are read? Even better I found in /plat/linux/stgdiag this seems to read the encoder signals, in the release of 17 Sept (compiled with no errors) there is nothing read, in the release of 16 Nov (compiled with errors in emcmot) the encoders are read?
So what I'm wondering now is my board broken? Or can we make trough the inifile (the only one I change) changes for reading the encoders and so do I miss some settings?

Also for one reason or another the servotogo board is initialised with the y limit switch put on (A7 = 0 all others are =1)? giving me of coarse an error, I can toggle this bit trough the servotogo soft so I can go out of E-stop but not machine on (parport 2 pin 13 is grounded)? When I change the fault_polarity in the ini for the y-axis this doesn't has any effect?

Tough first that there was something wrong with the RT but Frank Zappa is running.
Reinstalling EMC has neither any effect.
And running the Servotogo-soft tells me everything is working.
Hit me.

If I have to buy a new board has anyone the knowledge if model2 is suited for the EMC code?

Voila,

Thanks in advance to your replies,

Jan.
