Hello,

so one question... if i have the *.ini-file with the machine-setup and a hardware file like the *.hal - where can i configure which Pin of the Mesa 7i97 i connected with which function?

The 7i97 have:
P1 (Expansion),
TB1 (Encoders 0-2),
TB2(Encoders 3-5),
TB3(Analog Out),
TB4 (Input/RS422),
TB5 (I/O)

If i want to connect my Encoder from X-Axis to TB1 Encoder 0 - where can i do this? Is there a missing file for physical pin-mapping?
For example if i have P1 Pin 1 of the 7i97 then it is what for a name in hal? Or similar TB1 Encoder 0 is Pin 1 to 8 of the 7i97. So there is some mapping for that? Or an Overview of the HotMot Driver?

So here missing 7i97:
Code:
/usr/share/doc/hostmot2-firmware-<board>/

This is done with these statements in the hal file:

net x-pos-fb  <=  [HMOT](CARD0).encoder.00.position
net x-pos-fb   =>  pid.x.feedback

Yes i know - but what pin is what name? I see on the Card P1, TP1, Tp2... but in the HAL-File not? So somewhere a pin mapping?

Or a excel-table to see what pin of the mesa-card have what name for the hal-file... found nothing about this... my thoughts about this is some firmware-informations from mesa for the card - but in the folder there are missing many cards with there pin-mapping - for a mesa 7i43 there is a pin mapping file in the folder i wrote above.

The general TB pin to function mapping (for standard firmware) is in the manual,
and also reported by mesaflash (for any firmware).

In the Mesa 7i97 Manual there is not any information about that.
On the Mesa-Website there is a link to Supported Software which contains also the basic hal and ini-files. But no mapping. I will contact mesa for that.

Thank you
