Mesa 7i96 driver/setup Plasma Table

A different card, but this example for a 7i76e should point you in the right direction to configure the stepgens
forum.linuxcnc.org/47-hal-examples/34072...antry-example#106523

So I'll need to change pins to:
hm2/hm2_7i96.0. IO Pin 000 (01-01[TB 1,2,3 then pin?]): IO Port <(denote function?)
I.E.
hm2/hm2_7i96.0. IO Pin 33 (03-14): net estop-ext

OR
net estop-ext <= hm2_7i96.0.gpio.033.in

I may be confusing the .hal/.ini setup; but I think I'm onto something

You've already run this plasma cnc gambit, IIRC. Did you use the Proma THC?

TB3 pins 1 through 11 = inputs 0 through 10 = gpio 0 through 10, like
hm2_7i96.0.gpio.000.in = TB3.1

TB3 isolated outputs are named ssr like
hm2_7i96.0.ssr.00.out-00 = TB3 pins 13,14

Thank you!
Can you give me an example of how to setup the pins for the motors in the .hal?

So far I've setup a basic line: setp hm2_7i96.0.stepgen.00.??????
What is the designation for step +/- or dir +/-?

The CR11 (INIT) led turns red and stays on after power up the board. The manual says that this could indicate a problem with the FPGA setup; I've not begun to think about using the mesaflash utility, let alone alter the FPGA settings.
