Do you know what boards PCW has discontinued? It would be nice if that information was on his web site or have I just missed it?
Errick
All the boards that had the Spartan 6 FPGA can no longer be produced since they shut that factory down. They are being redesigned to use a FPGA chip that is available. Along with other chip shortages...

It's nice to have toys er ah Tools, yes tools that's it tools and supplies to do a job, test and tinker with.
I am sure PCW doesn't mind!
Very good tools, very reliable, and that is by far my most important feature.
As for PCW/Mesa, every Mesa board i got i had to pay at least twice the price, still there is nothing that i pay more gladly and willingly.

Thought I would try this out on a new build. I think I have all the details entered to do a simple test (new machine with new servos), but I get errors about "Joint 0 Analog Min limit must not be blank" and it isn't blank. At least that's what it looks like to me.

Can you attach your ini file so I can see what's going on and fix it.

Thanks JT. I know I didn't provide much detail and at the moment I am out camping so I cannot do much better until I get back next week.. From memory, I started out with nothing, a fresh install of Debian 12 and LinuxCNC.
Flashed the cards
"mesaflash --device 7I92T --addr 192.168.1.121 --write 7i92t_7i77x2d.bin"
Then installed the mesact from the debian package.
Started mesact, picked my card combo, then picked joint0. From there all I did was fill in the info in the tab boxes {PIN|HOMING|ANALOG|ENCODER| and that populated the details for each axis. I did'nt put anything there, I finally got it working by putting the values in there myself. I believe I ended up filling those values in by hand and that got rid of the error. sorry for the crappy explanation. I'll make a video or something when I get back and show you. Really appreciate the tool.

I tried to replicate what I did last week and I cannot get that same error, so who knows was I was doing wrong...
I tried again tonight and it worked for the most part until I went to write the config and it gave a program error. See attached screenshot, happy to provide more details if they help or log an issue.

The latest build date is 10-17-2023 and the last version was 2.0.4 so you need to download a fresh copy of the deb and install it.
I just released 2.0.5 with many improvements and bug fixes.

Latest version fixed my issues!! One nitpicky thing. I downloaded 2.0.5 but the screen still shows 2.0.4. Screenshot and install log attached.

I forgot to upload the deb after changing the version in mesact, all fixed now. Download 2.0.5 again and install and the change will show up.
