Mesa 7i95

well I can not see any typo at first glance. I am doing something dumb.
54 is fine but 55,56 keep saying they do not exist.

setp    hm2_7i95.0.gpio.054.is_output true
setp    hm2_7i95.0.gpio.055.is_output true # relay K410 output opto B1
setp    hm2_7i95.0.gpio.056.is_output true

anyway I will keep fighting it tomorrow.

while I have you on the line and you seem to know a lot, what is the preferred or best way of creating bit more complex controls? Like if the logic is too much for HAL what would be on top of the list Python, Hal component generator or anything else?
I am not sure If I explain my self well.
Example I have some hydraulic to control so lot of lockouts and some timing and feedback. I could do it in HAL but that would be messy I guess. so what would be my first choice lets say the best performance reliable ops.....

Classic ladder is commonly used for these type of applications where real time
is needed. Other options are application specific components either real time (in C)
or non-reatime (Python or whatever).

The output of mesaflash's --readhmid command and the list of parameters
from halcmd would be of help to debug the is_output issue.

It may also be something wrong with the bitfile
(Since the stock 7I95 bitfile works)

right thanks for the breakdown exactly what I was looking for.

iIl will try to dig into that output tomorrow. Might even load stock bit and check that.

all the outputs are fine. I don't know what I have done but it works.

Thanks, yeah i am still learning this world of linuxcnc. It is fairly complex.
I don't know the classic ladder and i have not actually come across the lut5 will have to do some reading on in.
Since most of the stuff i needed was non realtime i actually opted for python. Python seem to be the easiest to get going and fairly easy to debug.
When i have i minute i would like to try the halcompile.

Well actually while i am typing i have another question.
How do i connect pendant to 7i95? I already have 5 encoder inputs in use and thinking about adding another axis in the future and P1 connector is fully in use too.
Do i go for something like 7i73 connected via rs422?

You can add a 7I73, but if you have free isolated inputs,
there are 4 MPG channels available on the isolated inputs:

hm2_7i95.0.inm.00.enc0-count (isolated inputs 0,1)
hm2_7i95.0.inm.00.enc1-count (isolated inputs 2,3)
hm2_7i95.0.inm.00.enc2-count (isolated inputs 4,5)
hm2_7i95.0.inm.00.enc3-count (isolated inputs 6,7)

well I am chockablock on TB6 so all inputs on TB5 are available but I think I will need more inputs still I think and I hate maxing stuff out.
I can use it there (if I can remap it to TB5) for time being but I think I will order 7I73 (unless there is a better board to get) I will install it in the pendant and run only RS422 to the board which in my mind will be neater solution.
What do you reckon?
