need firmware for mesa 7i76eu+7i85+pwm

Hi PCW,

I need custom firmware for 7i76EU with:
- 7i76 daughter card on internal SSerial (currently working)
- 7i85 encoder card on P2 (currently working)  
- PWM generator on P1 for 20kHz laser control



Can you create firmware combining all three?

Board IP: 192.168.1.121
5 axes: XYZAB vfd rs485 controls spindle direct on the mini pc with rs485 output

Thanks!

Do you mean 7I85 on P1 and PWM on P3  (on 7I76EU P1 is the first parallel expansion connector and P3 is the second)

Reply to PCW with:
"Yes, that's correct:

7i85 encoder card on P1 (first DB25 expansion connector)
PWM on P3 (second DB25 expansion connector) for laser

Or if it's easier, PWM on P1 and 7i85 on P3 - whichever works best for the firmware. i use all 5 stepper outputs. so any port or pin you think is best will do.

7I76EU firmware for 7I85 on P1, and 1 PWM on P3

 


After doing this I also had a thought that you could use a spare RS-422
output on the 7I85 for the PWM output, so you get a  buffered output
rather than a bare FPGA pin.
