Retrofitting a 1986 Maho MH400E

Hi Tommy,
It is a New Zealand accent, but close

So you think there is no more troubleshooting to determine whether the issue is the 7i77's SS port or the 7i84's port?

Since i doubt you have another SS card to test with, i concluded it would be better to get another one since there is no way of testing further that i know of, and the time wasted is not worth the 70 or 80 or 90 euro.
But, PCW is always watching and he always has ideas and ways of testing stuff.
Not sure if there is a posibility of doing a loopback test on an SS port, so a post on the "driver boards" section might speed up things a bit.
BTW, i had a chat with a New Zeland ambasador here about moving there some 10 years ago, it was not that hard. Nature there is magnificent.

I don't think it is easy to emigrate to NZ. One of my old friends from NZ has been in a documented legal partnership with his british girlfriend for 9 years. He does contracts all over the world (aviation) and she goes with him. NZ Immigration was pretty tough on proving that this was not just a marriage of convenience.

I see there is also a Mesa vender in Austria now. I wll contact them as see if they have one on stock. Thanks for your help.

Hi to all and lets hope 2021 will be better than 2020. Mark sorry to hear (see) for the machine crash. Gmoccapy has combined slider for both max vel and feed override because most of the users (including me) use the that knob (instead of feed hold button) to safely approach the work during a program. You just turn the knob down as you are approaching the work and looking to the distance to go. My millplus controller has separate knobs for rapids and feed, so you just keep turn down the rapids as you are approaching the work and suddenly the rapid move ends and a hi feed programmed motion starts because you have the feed knob to 100% or 150%. I have changed dippers a few times because of this so now I have both knobs to 0% at start of not proven program.

Thanks for the continued what's up of the Maho retrofit an usage.
Have been looking at some of Kent VanderVelden You Tube's stuff and thought you might be interested in his auto feed rate override ( collision control ) and his video about tool length probe error .

PS --- Big thank's to all the other contributors to this Maho thread

I spent this week trouble shooting the 7i84 (there is a separate thread). Turns out the 7i77 is damaged, but only one input TB8-15.

I got my pendant connected and mostly working, but do not understand the error in my HAL with respect to the jog increments. I described it in this video. I would appreciate any help with this.
