PWM - usbduxsigma

[Ozan Ögunc]

I am currently having a problem and wanted to ask you.

I tried to setup and configure a pwm drive by using usbduxsigma. I have

a current driver, but I do not get a signal from the usbduxsigma. Below 

is my code. It compiles fine, but without any output.

1. The example file pwm_0.c is simply taken from the

"code-examples/pwm.c". It compiles alright. It also runs. However, when

I connect the oscilloscope to any of these outputs, no signal can be seen.

    Gnd = pin 9 of the 15 pin connector

    PWM = pin 1-8  ( all eight pins are checked)

2. The system log notes that the usb connection is successful:

     usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 8 using xhci_hcd

     usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=13d8, idProduct=0020,

bcdDevice= 0.00

     usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0

     comedi comedi0: ADC_zero = 800166

     comedi comedi0: driver 'usbduxsigma' has successfully

auto-configured 'usbduxsigma'.

I would be very happy if you could help.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Kind regards,

OZAN

I'm not that familiar with the device[*], but those comedi_data_write()
calls are writing to a non-existent subdevice 4. It should be subdevice 3.

[*] Bernd Porr sent me one about a decade ago, but unfortunately it got
destroyed in an office fire!

Oh yes. It should be subdevice 3. Can you try that?
