For encoders+resolvers the encoder/resolver/PWM channels will not match


I will just point out that this doesn't matter, my Z is Resolver 0, PWM 2, and 8i20 1 (I think) for various reasons I have forgotten.

Is there a bitfile available for setting up a7i49 on one connector of a 5i23 and a 7i33 on another?
Im using :

loadrt hm2_pci config="firmware=hm2/5i20/SVST8_4.BIT num_pwmgens=0 num_encoders=0 num_stepgens=0,firmware=hm2/5i23/rmsvss6_8.bit num_encoders=3 num_resolvers=3 num_pwmgens=5 num_stepgens=0 sserial_port_0=002xxx"

to load the drivers and the encoders are not showing up in halshow. Emc wont load the my halfile with any references to encoders,probably because they dont exist. Suggestions?

I don't think there's standard bitfile like that but it can be
patched together from some standard pinouts fairly easily
I can try and do this Monday if I get a chance.

Thank you,I would be hugely appreciative !!! Just out of curiosity, how does one make and compile a bit file. I looked at the xml files for other cofigs....Thanks again.

Heres a _very_ brief description of how its done For hostmot2 bitfiles

Download the Xilinx tools (webpack) (this is free but big)
Download the HostMot2 source from Mesa
Select the proper top level file, card type and desired
configuration. (The configuration is defined in a single file called a pinout file)
If you no pinout file exists with the desired set of I/O features,
a new pinout file must be created
(I do this by cutting and pasting bits from existing pinout files)
Then compile the source and voilĂ , a new bitfile!

freeby.mesanet.com/rmsvss6_10_8.zip

contains .bit, .pin and .xml files for a 5i23 configuration with

7I49 on P2 (resolver interface)
7I33 on P3 (4 channel analog servo/encoder interface)
7I44 on P4 (8 channel sserial interface)

Oops, sorry. Must be the pinout file I started with had a bad stride
for the sserial module, Will fix tomorrow morning

If you refetch the zipfile, it should be fixed

PCW,

Can you please double check this bit file, I loaded the new file and got the same thing.
