7i96 Configuration Tool

JT,

The tool and files it creates are for v2.8 only correct ?

That is correct, the 7i96 only works on 2.8

I installed 7i96 according to instructions at github. Using LINUXCNC - 2.8.0-pre1-4740-g60416609a
Successfully installed 7i96-0.1.0
Running 7i96 shows it is version 0.0.2
The github documentation shows screens of version 1.0
So what version is it really and how do I get the latest because the documentation shows screen items that do not exist on my installed version. Thanks.

In StepConf there is a "tandum" label. For the 7i96 tool how do you setup a two motor tandem axis? Do you just make two X axis? Does the order matter?

That is because the programmer (me) failed to keep both the setup.py and the 7i96.py versions in sync, it has been fixed and pushed.

The screen shots will always be behind the configuration tool because I forget to update them, which screen is different?

The configuration tool knows to put multiple joints with the same axis as a gantry. I've added that information to the help page for axes.

The only order that matters is you start with joint 0 and don't skip a joint, the axis letter assignment does not matter.
