I don't recall them being that Apr 28 03:58:50 having active-low signals being declared as init-low is also unusual Apr 28 04:08:58 what do you recommend Apr 28 04:19:22 they should be active high ? Apr 28 04:19:23 brb Apr 28 06:04:47 back Apr 28 06:05:01 zmatt: how should I set those pins Apr 28 06:20:16 mattb000ne: the correct way for each pin Apr 28 06:21:02 well I want them all going out Apr 28 06:21:24 but I dont get the difference between active low and init low Apr 28 06:21:26 I vaguely remember an active-low enable signal, I don't know why you declared direction and step as activelow Apr 28 06:22:26 the active level of a pin and the initial level of a pin are completely orthogonal (though typically the default state of a pin will be inactive, hence usually an active-low pin is init-high and vice versa) Apr 28 06:23:18 mattb000ne: maybe comments in lines 671-80 of https://pastebin.com/cVHktYPn will help Apr 28 06:23:25 lines 7`1-80 Apr 28 06:24:33 yes that is what I needed to see Apr 28 06:25:20 init-low/high is in terms of voltage level, so if a pin is declared as active-low and init-low then its initial value will be 1 Apr 28 06:27:20 got ya Apr 28 06:27:37 let me give that a whirl Apr 28 06:27:46 i need them active high Apr 28 06:27:59 maybe not all but direction and step for sure Apr 28 06:28:17 yeah iirc enable was active-low Apr 28 06:28:33 I don't remember the meaning of the other two pins Apr 28 06:28:56 it was to configure some decay setting or something right? so active-high probably Apr 28 06:30:33 yeah set microstepping resolution Apr 28 06:30:46 ah right, that Apr 28 06:31:16 I will put them low Apr 28 06:31:25 since full steps what I would be using most often Apr 28 06:31:47 yeah active-high init-low Apr 28 06:35:40 so who is going to do all this work for the BBAI Apr 28 06:35:50 ? Apr 28 06:35:54 like you need to master that thing pronto Apr 28 06:36:18 i know it is still pretty new Apr 28 06:37:11 when did you start working with beagle boards Apr 28 06:37:43 my first beagle was a BBB rev A5A Apr 28 06:38:20 never worked with the beaglebone white nor the beagleboard classic/xm Apr 28 14:00:52 m Apr 29 00:30:59 zmatt: still not liking the overlay Apr 29 00:32:03 https://pastebin.com/2WUyvaQ7 Apr 29 01:58:56 PIN_PULLDN not PIN_PULLDOWN (I did that so it aligns with PIN_PULLUP and PIN_NOPULL) Apr 29 01:59:12 ok Apr 29 01:59:40 I really wish dtc would give a useful error like "Unknown identifier: PIN_PULLDOWN" instead of "syntax error" Apr 29 01:59:46 yeah **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Apr 29 02:59:56 2021
