Mesa 7i95

Most of the setup between a 7I95 and 7I96 will be common, the main difference is the
isolated input pin names. I dont think pncconfs test/tune option will work but you can
adjust scaling live with the calibrate menu once LinuxCNC is running

So what should i do? Just use pncconf to generate the hal file with the 7I96 board with my 3 step gens 3 endstops and start/stop signal. When it's generated i just have to change the board name from 7I96 to 7I95 or are there still other things i should change in the hal file before i can get this to work? The input pins are the next problem to solve haha. I guess i should just use the naming defined in the manual for the 7I95 card?

Yes, just use pncconf to generate a starting hal/ini file set

At the minimum you will need to change the card name and the isolated input
names

7I95 isolated inputs 00..23 (NN=00..23) are named:

hm2_7i95.0.inm.00.input-NN
and
hm2_7i95.0.inm.00.input-NN-not

If it helps, I went through similar when I bought my first 7i76e some years ago when pncconf did not support it. I copied someone else's hal file and then just edited everything by hand. (at least you can create your sample!

I used halshow a lot to read the pin names and just did one bit at a time. If I broke something, I would comment out that line and so it would open linuxcnc and read the right pin name from halshow, then went back and fixed it. Always run linuxcnc from the command prompt as the errors will be displayed where you can see them .

With geany text editor you can have you r hal and ini files poen and just save them and rerun linuxcnc.

My board did finally arrive. I got the card setup by the eeprom ip 10.10.10.10, i can ping to it without any problems.
When i try to us the readhmid command in mesaflash it gives an error: unsupported device 7I95. How can i solve this? I have no typo's in my command line or so. And since i use the latest linuxcnc branch i don't know what could lead to this issue...
Could anyone help me out? Thank you all!

You would need the latest version of mesaflash, here:
