LinuxCNC installation + 7I96S

Hello. I have installed the latest version of LinuxCNC. Everything seems to be correct, but I cannot see the jogs to control the motors on the interface and the red ‘X’ does nothing. I do not know what to do. I cannot find a way to continue. Thank you.

   

If the "Emergency Stop" button (red X) does nothing, this is likely an issue in the hal or ini files.

Can you post your hal/ini files here?

Axis should look something like this initially (before estop is released):


 


After Estop is released and before power (Orange button) is on:


 


and after power is on:

The hal file is incomplete, if you cannot get out of estop, this is likely an issue
with the EStop related signals and these tend to be at the end of pncconf created
hal files.

Did you setup an external EStop? That might be another reason for inability
to get out of the EStop state.

I simply followed the installer's instructions. I only configured the selection of the 3 axes to their ports. I don't remember configuring an EStop.

It won't let me exit the emergency stop on the interface.

Is there a tutorial on how to configure it correctly?

Would it be possible to download the INI and HAL files for my Mesa and LinuxCNC version?

I have made many configurations and I still cannot control the machine.

With the LinuxCNC test configuration, when I select the 7I96S table option, the interface allows me to exit emergency mode. However, I cannot find a way to move the motors (there are no jogs).

Can you post the complete hal  file so that cause of the issue can be determined?
