The default config within the firmware has only three step generators configured. You will need to upload a config, but strange you are getting timeouts..I have read the full thread, wiki and looked at git hub and there are a number of things I am still confused about due to conflicting information.
I am using a standard LinuxCNC distro on an i5 PC. I have erased and programmed an NVEM V5 board (RT1052) using pyocd and the remora-rt1052-NVEM-0.2.1.bin and the board responds to pings at 10.10.10.10.
I cannot upload a config to the remora board due to time outs, but I understand this is to be expected as the firmware has a full config built-in - is this correct or is this the root cause of my issues?
The board outputs the following via the debug port on boot:
Initializing PHY...
## Entering SETUP state
## Entering START state
Starting the threads
## Entering IDLE state
I have installed the remora components (remora-eth, remora-nv, remora-nvmpg) into LinuxCNC and I copied various remora configs to my config directory.
Satrting LinuxCNC and using the remova-nv config I can get the x & y steppers to sort of move but I cannot see any inputs change state (I have tried all of them). In the HAL viewer I can see the Remora status as OK and both the servo-thread.time /remora.update-frq.time are updating.
Ultimately I want to set this up for a lathe with x,y and spindle control but for now it is sitting on my desk with two steppers and some switches wired up to the inputs.
So my questions are:
1: have I flashed the correct firmware?
2: do I need to upload a config file to the NVEM - if so why would I get a timeout (this is mentioned by someone else in an earlier post)?
3: If the above is OK why can I not see any input changes?
4: Do anyone have a Lathe config as a starting point?
Thanks in advance
