Mesa 7i95

Got it!
originally I did this
forum.linuxcnc.org/27-driver-boards/3559...ethernet-mesa-boards

but as mentioned in the first line in red do not mix well and I did since I forgot what I did few months ago.

all works as advertised (so far)
Thanks for your help, I will be back for more I am sure

Could anyone share his HAL section for a pwmgen on Pin1 on the PP to run a spindle?

I have a setup with one of those chinese "PWM to 0-10V" modules.

edit:got it.

Yes, the outputs are isolated switches (0 to 36V, 0 to 2A)

So you can use 5V or 12V or 24V or anything between 0 and 36V

Note that the outputs are not protected against shorted loads
so use a fused or current limited supply. Also the switches
are polarized (if you connect them backwards they will appear
to be always on)

I should add, you can use an Ohmmeter to test the outputs.
 

Could it be that the ssr´s are on/closed when starting the board?
I think i saw a thread some where how to change it, but i can´t find it anymore.

The outputs are off at startup, though if you wire them
backwards (reverse polarity) they will appear to be stuck-on.

Hey Peter,
I need to pick your brain again.
Trying to use I/O 55, 56, 57 as outputs but they do not exist it says.
What am I missing?

26 bit OUT FALSE hm2_7i95.0.gpio.054.in
26 bit OUT TRUE hm2_7i95.0.gpio.054.in_not
26 bit IN FALSE hm2_7i95.0.gpio.054.out <== spindle-enable
26 bit OUT FALSE hm2_7i95.0.gpio.055.in
26 bit OUT TRUE hm2_7i95.0.gpio.055.in_not
26 bit OUT FALSE hm2_7i95.0.gpio.056.in
26 bit OUT TRUE hm2_7i95.0.gpio.056.in_not
26 bit OUT TRUE hm2_7i95.0.gpio.057.in
26 bit OUT FALSE hm2_7i95.0.gpio.057.in_not
26 bit IN FALSE hm2_7i95.0.gpio.057.out

 

You would need to set the "is_output" parameter for those pins

Note that if you are using bare FPGA pins on the expansion connector
you should be careful what they are connected to, and at the minimum
add a 100 Ohm series resistor if they could accidentally contact frame
ground.

When I set "is_output" it says that they do not exist.
it works fine eg. gpio.54 but not with 56 and 55.

I have an opto coupler board on P1 with inline dropping resistors 1k5

Actually I have enabled PWM on IO 52, 53 would that have anything to do with this issue?
 

Probably, if 55,56 are owned by the PWMgen

using the --readhmid option with mesaflash should show you what pins is
associated with what function

it should not be used by PWM as far as I understand

I dont have it here on me so I can not try anything, I just wanted to pre-empt for tomorrow.

Maybe a name type-o?

halcmd show param hm2_7i95.0.gpio

(in a terminal when LinuxCNC is running)

Should show all the GPIO parameters
