7i76 not seen by linuxcnc was created by rfrey
Hello. I'm running a 5i25 and 7i76, but the 5i25 can't seem to see the 7i76. It has 24v field power and I'm supplying 5v power manually - both LEDs are lit. There is some communication happening because I can use PNCConf to control the steppers.

I can start linuxcnc and control steppers as long as my .hal file doesn't reference any 7i76 pins. Furthermore the 7i76 pins don't show up on halshow. I tried initializing everything through halcmd and got this output when I loaded the hm2_pci component:
Code:

There's no mention in the output of the 7i76, but maybe there's not supposed to be.

Any suggestions are greatly welcome!

Looks like the correct firmware.

I would make sure that the 5I25 is jumpered to NOT supply 5V to the 7I76
(5I25 W2 DOWN) and that the 7I76 is jumpered for external 5V power
(7I76 W2 RIGHT) and that 7I76 W1 and W3 are in the LEFT hand position

Thanks Peter. Jumpers are correct - you helped me out with this before. If you recall, a power transistor on the 5i25 was burnt out which meant it couldn't supply 5v to the 7i76.

I suppose the 5i25 may be damaged in other ways by whatever caused the power transistor to go. Strange that it *almost* works. Maybe I should try another parallel cable (although this is the same one I was using before I started having problems.)

Should I expect the output from loading hmi_pci to indicate the 7i76, if everything is working correctly?

Yes, you should see a SSerial TX and RX pin on GPIO 10 and 11:

hm2/hm2_5i25.0: IO Pin 010 (P3-07): Smart Serial Interface #0, pin tx0 (Output)
hm2/hm2_5i25.0: IO Pin 011 (P3-08): Smart Serial Interface #0, pin rx0 (Input)

The fact that you don't have them means that for some reason, there is no communication
between the 5I25 and the 7I76 on those lines.
