Update to latest 2.9 master fixed the issue. Thanks!

Sorry for the obvious bug (You can see I only tested the 00-not bit)

HI Been awhile since i worked with Linux CNC, Just starting to commission a machine based on 7i95 card. Whats is best OS to start with and best way to get/build linux cnc that has support for the 7i95. Any examples out there for the 7i95?

Many thanks

7i95 should be etherner, so here is a ready made ISO with Linux Mint and Preempt-RT kernel and Linuxcnc installed.

I believe the 7i95 requires LCNC 2.9.

Linux Mint with preempt-rt kernel is a great base for LinuxCNC.

You can use Pncconf Wizard and use the 7i76e to build the base config. Then search and replace 7i76e in your .hal file with 7i95.

Input Pin names:
hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-00

Output Pin names:
hm2_7i95.0.ssr.00.out-00

The 7i95 doesn't have a 0-10v spindle output like the 7i76e - so you will need a spindle vfd / amp that uses step/dir or a custom bitfile that converts a StepGen to a PWM and use a 0-10V PWM adapter or you can try to control the VFD with Modbus.

Thanks i started with the 7i96 config, maybe this was bad idea?

I am currently running the 2.8.0~pre1 - from the mint build. will this not work with the 7i95?? If not whats the process to get 2.9 build from sources??

2.9 is needed to support the 7I95s isolated inputs
If you built from source you should just need to
checkout master and re-build to get the latest 2.9

Ok i am running LINUXCNC - 2.9.0-pre0-1075-geb670bb09 and have a basic config

it detects the 7i95 lists TB1-TB5 and the P1 port in messages but nothing about TB6? what i am i missing?

Update, they appear in the hal tree but not the debug o/p sorry i wasted any ones time


Looking at it again are the Inputs actually accessed via IO Pin 028 - 33 through a mux system? In which case does anyone have a hal function to get these into discrete inputs and should this not be handled at drive level?? any help would be much appreciated.

As 0x2102 mentioned, they are of the form:

hm2_7i95.0.inmux.00.input-00

If you have a question about pin and parameter names, you can list all hardware pins with

halcmd show pin hm2*

and all parameters with:

halcmd show param hm2*
