I have lost track of what you are trying to do.

But you don't appear to be doing anything with the offset component offset input pin.

motor-position-command goes to offset in
offset feedback out goes to motion.motor-pos-feedback

offset out goes to pid as the offset command
encoder position goes to pid and to offset feedback in

then the offset offset moves the tool without the system knowing about it.

Yes, it because i take some time between each posts... sorry for this...

motor-position-command goes to offset in
offset feedback out goes to motion.motor-pos-feedback

offset out goes to pid as the offset command
encoder position goes to pid and to offset feedback in


But, in core_sim.hal, i don't have :
- motion.motor-pos-feedback
- encoder position

(i try first with a xyz_sim configuration.)

And i don't understand "offset out goes to pid as the offset command".

All that i have is on the picture on figure. :/

I've just found that maybe i have to test on a servo_sim.hal rather than a core_sim.hal.
It's look like there is lot of more pins and signals...

So, I tried to use the configuration configs/sim/tklinuxcnc with servo_sim.ini
(because it seems that from the beginning i used a non servo sim config... so impossible to do what i want...)

But It doesn't work (no launch). And i don't why. I don't understand the debug file. There is a problem with EMCTASK ?
How can i fix this ?

Below, the message form terminal. And in attachment, debug files and servo_sim.ini.

I have no idea what is wrong there.
Error in startup script: can't find package Linuxcnc

Just sounds strange.

Oui. C'est bizarre.

With other version of LinuxCNC, i don't have the same error.

Do you have a config servo_sim who work correctly ?
(It seems that there is several version. Some with "axis.N.motor-pos-fb" instead of "joint.N.motor-pos-fb" for example.)

You could just write one, without all the stuff required to make a simulator look like the real thing there isn't that much to a config.
But a servo-sim is strange and difficult because there is no real encoder feedback to satisfy the PID.
There is also the issue that the sim configs won't show anything with the suggestions I have made, LinuxCNC is completely unaware of the second axis and so won't show anything happening on screen.
If you had actual motors connected then you would see the offset move things, but there won't be anything to see in a simulator.

(It seems that there is several version. Some with "axis.N.motor-pos-fb" instead of "joint.N.motor-pos-fb" for example.)

That is a further complication. It sounds like you have a number of different versions of LinuxCNC including some from the Joints_Axes branches which separate the concepts of joints (actuators) and Axes (XYZ directions)

I think you need to start at the beginning decide what you want to do, then do it.

Yes. But the problem is that i need to test first on a simulated machine. Because my real machine is a industrial size one. So it's too dangerous and test directly on this one. It's for this taht i'm looking for a 3 axis sim config near of my machine to do the modification of hal.
And, in real test, i will not an motor, but only one encoder on a cross table (taht i can moove manually).

Yes, in fact, there was a project before me. An engineer did a lot of work and developement on Linuxcnc. So I picked up his final virtuel box with these Linuxcnc version. It will be difficult to start from the beginning.

Si, if i understand, i have to try to simplify the servo_sim config ? (i want to test to add the offset component like you said). But maybe i will not see anything ? (I just want to disturb the feedback of position, and see if the machine go to the same goal. For exmple, if the machine have to stay on X0, if i had a distrubance with a suplemntary encoder on axis X (of 1 mm for example), i want taht the machine come back on 0. I hope that is possible on simulation. The "normal encoder" will be at 0 at the beginning, but will compensate with the orther encoder on the same axe, so activate the motor and do a displacement of 1 (and have a sum of 0, on feedback... )

If that is what you want then you don't need the offset component.

All you need to do is to have two encoder counters, one as normal on the motor for axis control. The other goes on your hand-operated leadscrew and has the correct scale for the motion, but with a negative scale.

You then need to add the two encoder positions together before passing them to the PID.feedback pin _and_ the axis.0.motor-pos-fb pin.

It would be possible to set up a simulator to deomonstrate this, but the HAL that makes the simulation work would be at least as complicated as the machine-control HAL. Possibly more so as it is trying to simulate a machine.

Even if you did simulate it, all you would see in the simulation would be the pid output increasing then going to zero when you operate the second encoder.

Yes ! It's exactly what I want to do ! :)

It's that i begin to understand now... but as i said, i'm affraid to do a wrong change and damage the machine (like one joint will diverge and go very fast on limits).
Maybe I can try to change the HAL file, and i will send on this forum, to know if there is a risk.

Even if you did simulate it, all you would see in the simulation would be the pid output increasing then going to zero when you operate the second encoder.[/quote

I don't understand this part.
I want to know if you think it's possible to see the case 3 on the pictures in attachment. (we can imagine the encoder counter, as normal on the motor, stay at 0, and a manual shift that i add to hal file (to simulate an other encounder) to simulate a +1 on X. I will see a light shift on screen (X go to one and come back to 0) ?

In any case, thx for all your responses. ;)
