Error: Could not open Output file
Posted: Fri Apr 27, 2018 12:22 pm
Hi! I'm trying to run some MCL on an MCP for my first time, and I'm encountering an error that I can't figure out how to resolve.
Ion Studio reports that I'm connected to a MCP 2x60A (COM7) (128). My coworker has used Ion Studio to tune the connected motors/encoders, so I'm convinced that the MCP is in good working order and has been set up correctly. Ion Studio reports that the device has firmware version 1.0.8.
My coworker and I have been in contact with Ion support via email regarding a topic similar to this forum post: http://forums.ionmc.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=593. We were given this starter program to try out and modify to our liking:
I opened Ion Studio, connected to the MCP, opened the MCL Editor window, and pasted that code into the editor. I saved the file on my desktop as limitswitches.mcl. I then pressed the "Check Script" button, at which point the output pane on the bottom of the program gives me this output:
I don't know what "Output file" means in this context, and haven't been able to find solutions in the manual or via Google searches. The error happens even when I try to check a completely empty .mcl file. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
