I stared making a table to do this. It appears I can only do 3 outputs as the number of weighted outs is limited to 8 and I have 7 just to do out 1,2,3. Unless I'm doing it wrong as I've never done this. I only need the one output so I'm good. I was just hopping to contribute a work around until you smart guys come up with a permanent solution.

(edit: it looks like weighed sums output is signed so we need to add a type conversion_
You only need 1 weighted_sum component
A single weighted_sum component can have up to 16 input bits and you only need 6:
loadrt weighted_sum wsum_sizes=6
loadrt conv_s32_u32
addf process_wsums servo-thread
addf conv-s32-u32.0 servo-thread
net out0 wsum.0.bit.0.in <= what_drives_out0
net out1 wsum.0.bit.1.in <= what_drives_out1
net out2 wsum.0.bit.2.in <= what_drives_out2
net out3 wsum.0.bit.3.in <= what_drives_out3
net out4 wsum.0.bit.4.in <= what_drives_out4
net out5 wsum.0.bit.5.in <= what_drives_out5
net outputs-s wsum.0.sum conv-s32-u32.0.in
net outputs-u conv-s32-u32.0.out hm2_7i96.0.raw.write_data
setp hm2_7i96.0.raw.write_strobe true

so I think I finally understand this. LOL after I wrote and ran each data number and grafted it. I have connected machine on to 0 and spindle on to 1. and commented out the rest. the sum number is correct. but I now cannot run the 7i96setup while axis is on. It says ( pin 'hm2_7i96.0.raw.write_data' is connected to a signal ) I understand that is, but how do I get around it? I also have it as a M100 and tried running it that way but no luck.

You would need to add the net command that connects hm2_7i96.0.raw.write_data
to the end of the setup command and remove it from the hal file

Hi guys,
i have another question.
is it possible to marry mine 7i96 with pendant control card 7i73 via RS-422 existing on 7i96?
assuming that answer is yes, however have no idea how to configure it in hal.
if no, which one will be suitable for that?
i'm planning to make pendant control for my machine so even simple one would be cool, but really like 7i73 abilities.

Yes, you should be able to plug a 7i73 straight in. From that point on the HAL config for the 7i73 will look exactly like for any other 7i73 installation.

cool, thank you.
just placed an order for 7i73 in Mesa store

I was wondering if maybe I could create a if else statement to run the script in a tcl. file. I created one but keep getting an error (variable out_fix not found)
This what I have in the file;
newsig out_fix bit

I think a complication here is that the data and strobes are only sent once every mS in the servo thread.
The answer might be a custom HAL component like this (untested)

component raw_writer "Example for 7i96 AC outputs";
pin in bit in[6] "The input data to be written"
pin out unsigned address "Connect to raw.write_address";
pin out unsigned data "Connect to raw.write_data";
pin out bit strobe "Connect to raw.write_strobe";

switch (state){

The script does work
I did find that i needed to continue to generate edges on the write strobe
I used a siggen at 500 Hz for this
