7i96 Configuration Tool

Wonderful it work again
In fact with the 7i96 tools my STEP_SCALE of 400 as disapear, but by putting manualy the SCALE in the GUI to 400 it works again

Many thanks ! PCW

For resuming of what to change in the tools for metrics :
- import of servo Period remove one zero
- FERROR ans MIN_FERROR still in inches and not in metrics
- STEP_SCALE not imported and replace by SCALE (not sure the CW or CCW works => the sign befor SCALE is not modified)

Just 2 comments :
- In the Axis tab / Joint in the joint information, I get a distance to accelerate to max speed in inches despite the fact I select the Metric system in the First Tab
- In the PC Tab, when I select the Read tMax I did not get a value in return ?

Thanks for the report, I'll look into the metric conversion as I'm sure it's just an oversight for me as I use inch.

Ahh I see an error I need to fix for tMax.

It seem's that the tools 7i96 put it again to 100000 even if previous ini file had 1000000.

I'll fix that as well...

I have one started but not complete enough to use yet. Been busy programming chicken door and lights lol.

Did you have the 7i96 connected to the PC and had the configuration up and running?

Hey John,
new Linuxcnc user here. First of all, thank you for developing the config tool and contributing so much to the community. I have already learned a ton from your posts. I started setting up my 7i96 today and ran into a few issues with the 7i96 config tool that I wanted to run by you.

My setup:
Mesa 7i96 board
preempt RT kernel:
Linux Linuxcnc 3.2.0-6-rt-686-pae #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 3.2.102-1 i686 GNU/Linux
Linuxcnc uspace 2.8 master branch
Python3 installed per your instructions

Observations:
-Sometimes the utility will create an empty folder with no HAL or INI files. It seems related to filling in certain fields but I cant identify which ones make this happen. Have you seen this?

-No configs that the utility creates will load in Linuxcnc. Even if I open gantry.ini, save it as a different name, and build a config with no changes, I get the error, see attached report.

Please let me know if you would like to see more details. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jamie
