Pimping the mini-lathe

As long as you have loaded the

7i96d_1pwm.bit


Bitfile, PWM should be present, as long as it's not disabled in the hal file
with a "num_pwmgens=0" token in the hm2_eth driver command line.

Thanks PCW. The 7i96 is currently in the "as delivered"configuration. Is that the default bitfile which MESA loads?

The as shipped 7I96 has the 7i96d.bit bitfile loaded
This has 5 stepgens and no PWM.

To load 7i96d_1pwm.bit you would need to fetch the 7i96.zip archive from Mesa,
extract the 7i96d_1pwm.bit bitfile and run these commands:

mesaflash --device 7i96 --addr [the cards current ip address] --write 7i96d_1pwm.bit
mesaflash --device 7i96 --addr [the cards current ip address] --reload

Thanks very much.

Episode 19 is now up...


Happy fathers day.

Hi Mark - it's amazing how much work you're putting it this small lathe, and I love the IKEA shelves idea.

Look forward to see movement, now that we're moving to the CNC part!

Will you be reutilizing the acetal ballscrew mounts, or are we in for a Maho threadmilling video soon?
