MESA 5i23 7i44 7i49 7i37 8i20 was created by kenny

Hello.
A few days seeking at this forum and can not seem to find the answer.
I have my own CNC machine staffed cards MESA 5i23 7i44 7i49 7i37 8i20 and TG Drives.
This configuration I chose, therefore, to realize the potential of Mesa cards as servo drivers, more speed and accuracy.

My question is:
1) What do I use a bit of firmware file for 5i23 card in this configuration?
2) Where can I download this file as *.bit along with the *.xml for EMC2?

I found several different information: Use SVSS6_8.bit or use RMSVSS6_8.BIT but this is not working or not downloaded.

Thank you for your answers.
If my problem was already solved in another thread, I apologize.

freeby.mesanet.com/rmsvss6_8.bit
should be correct.

7I49 on P2
7I37 on P3
7I44 on P4

Thank you for your reply.

"rmsvss6_8.bit" is downloaded OK.

But, where can I download file rmsvss6_8.xml ?
I need the file to configure an EMC via pncconf.

You could try the xml file that mesaflash generates:

sudo mesaflash --device 5i23 --program rmsvss6_8.bit
sudo mesaflash --device 5i23 --readhmid --xml > rmsvss6_8.xml

(This may require updating mesaflash to the latest)

I have a very similar setup on my milling machine. I have a 7i64 on the 7i44 for GPI rather than the 7i37, but the rest is much the same.

I don't know how far you will get with pncconf, I don't know how good it is with the bldc component and resolvers.

Here is my HAL file to give some guidance.

I have mesaflash 3.1 but does not have option --xml outputs.
What version has --xml option ?
In distribution downloaded via linuxcnc.org is only mesaflash ver. 3.0.0
Actually, via Debian Update Manager, I have only ver 3.1, but unfortunatelly --xml options is still not included...

How I can newer version mesaflash loaded to debian?

thank you for your reply

Even with an XML file I suspect that pncconf will struggle with your configuration.

I have just realised that the HAL file I posted earlier was for a Joints_axes version of LinuxCNC (where the motors and the axes are treated as separate things) and that that HAL file probably won't work very well with a normal installation.

I think that your best bet is to start with my configuration then make it work for your hardware. This might take a bit of time, as there are some questions such as where the resolver zero-point is compared to the motor zero-point that are not trivial to work out.

Remind me tomorrow and I will get the complete config from the machine. It might even just work for you :-)

I was at work when the reminder came in.

See attached. I don't know if it will actually work as I don't have a LinuxCNC 2.6 system with a 5i23 to test it on.

It uses the Touchy GUI, so the chances are that you won't be able to do anything without sorting out the connections in touchy.hal.

The bits that you will need to change to work with your particualar hardware are highlighted in green for HAL changes and pink for those that need to be changed in the INI below. (for each axis)
