8 AXIS card

Hi Again

anyone know if i can get a controler capable of 8 axis control?

i need
X
Y
Z
B
C1
C2
Z2
torque motor spindle (its basicly another servo)

i dont have anything that will connect into the spindle ports I think (c1 and c2 are both capable of 4500rpm) I was told this can be set via macros so its not used as spindle

i know about the mesa 7i77 but is it possable to connect 2 of them together?

thank you

Yes you can use 2 7i77 daughter cards with a Mesa 5i25 or any one of the other cards that the 7i77 can be used with. In fact if you buy a Mesa 5i25/7i77 Plug-N-Go kits, the 7i77x2 is the standard firmware that comes installed.

is the 7i80-HD going to use Ethernet port?

that would be incredibly handy

so is 12 axis that max for linuxcnc then or can you keep adding more cards? (I don't need to just curios)

thank for getting back to me

I would suggest the 7I77 instead of the 7I65 just because its much more commonly used with LinuxCNC
(this needs a 25 pin FPGA card like a 5I25, 6I25, (PCI,PCIE) 7I92 or 7I80DB (Ethernet))
