Mesa 7i76ED extension was created by mgm
I use all 5 stepgens on the 7i76ED and my spindle I control via TB4 and on the RS422 hangs a 7i84.For the control of the motor on the Geneva wheel I need a PWM with 1kH.

Currently the original bit file is on the 7i76, which was installed at delivery.I have already exchanged on my other post with andypugh and checked if a PWM is available on an expansion, unfortunately no!

So, you need to find a suitable firmware which matches the 7i76 on P1 but has PWM on P2. 


I found in the 7i76 zip the bit file "7i76e_7i76x1_5abobpD".I am not sure if this bit file is the right one for my project ?My current pinout is:

Yes, 7i76e_7i76x1_5abobpD provides 3 PWMGens on P1

okay
but then all other pinouts remain as they are now or do any changes have to be made?

What is the current bit file that is installed with the delivery, in case ads I have to reload it?

The on card I/O remains the same
only the P1 parallel expansion pinout changes

7i76e_7i76x1D.bit is the default 7I76E/ED firmware

You can flash the card with my Mesa Configuration Tool as well as create a configuration and a whole lot more...

short update

i have now written the new bit-file with the 3 pwmgens on the 7i76e and everything worked fine!

For all to follow:
change into the directory to the bitfile with "cd and filepath".

then if IP address of the 7i76e is 10.10.10.10, otherwise leave out --addr 10.10.10.10!

(sudo) mesaflash --device 7i76e --addr 10.10.10.10 --write 7i76e_7i76x1_5abobpD.bit
then reboot the card with

mesaflash --device 7i76e --addr 10.10.10.10 --reload

and now to check:

mesaflash --device 7i76e --addr 10.10.10.10 --readhmid
