1. LinucCNC requires you to use the joints in order starting at 0 and not skipping any joints.

That's my guess too.

MesaCT allows you to pick any axis for any joint as long as you follow the above.

Yes. MesaCT allows to pick any axis for any joint. But it doesn't have selection box to choose which stepgen or encoder of the board to the joint.

2. I will have to add the option to ignore the encoder, thanks for that feedback. Probably I'll make it if you leave it blank it will be ignored.

I think that would do the job nicely. Thanks!

3. I'm not sure what your saying, can you attach the ini file and I'll look.

.INI is generated correctly. It contains all input mapping I put on MesaCT as below snippet.

[INPUTS]
# DO NOT change the inputs they are used by the configuration tool
INPUT_0_16 = Joint 0 Home
INPUT_INVERT_0_16 = False
INPUT_SLOW_0_16 = False
...

But it's not used in main.hal or io.hal
main.hal contains only one line for estop

# Standard I/O Block - EStop, Etc
# create a signal for the estop loopback
net estop-loopback iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in <= iocontrol.0.user-enable-out
<End of main.hal file>

I used mesact to generate the files for my 7i95t , i was just wondering the same thing about the Inputs , it generates them in the .ini but not in any of the .hal's

If you attach your ini file I can recreate your configuration files and see what the issue is.

I have fixed this and uploaded a new version. I forgot the 7i95T is like the 7i92T and drops the 'T' from the pin names.

So click on Help > Check for Updates then Downloads > Mesa CT PC 64bit. Rpi debs will arrive later today I think.

I just cloned git repository and tried 2.0.4
Looks like issue #2 and #3 are fixed!
I still need manual edit to map stepgen to joint due to issue #1
Let me try and feedback if anything doesn't work.

Thank you JT for prompt fix!
