Master branch gantry Mesa 7i96

Copy and paste should do it.

In your ini file you need to have "home" position and home search velocity set ( it is omitted ) and both Y axis must have "-1" set for sequence.

They are there in my latest version of the config files.Does not work though.

Having loads of following errors:

Joint_3 is home_sequence 0

hal file: git.cnckloon.nl/CNCZone/mesa_2019/src/br...master/mesa_2019.hal
ini file: git.cnckloon.nl/CNCZone/mesa_2019/src/br...master/mesa_2019.ini

Getting frustrated now I had a working machine, all I did was change the parallel BOB's for a Mesa 7i96 card...... Thanks for everybody's help, makes it a little easier to deal with this.

[JOINT_3]
This will fail instantly:
MAX_VELOCITY = 40.0
...
STEPGEN_MAX_VEL = 12

(stepgen max acceleration and velocity limits should be set to about 125% of the joint and axis acceleration and velocity limits)

DIRSETUP = 35000
DIRHOLD = 35000
STEPLEN = 1
STEPSPACE = 0

and a 1 ns step will not drive any real hardware

I suggest (again) 5000,5000 for steplen/stepspace

I overlooked that one, thanks for spotting my error. Will try again tomorrow.
