OK so the next question is which Ethernet interface is the 7I95T connected to?
(enp8s0 or eno1)

(quick way to check is unplug the 7I95T RJ45 cable and see which interface shows "NO-CARRIER"

I just try to set the card to work.

For the beginning, I want it to get a single stepper motor to turn with nothing else connected to it. For this, I need to configure some hal and ini files. I can use mesact but not pncconf for this.Later, I will analyze and try to understand these first files according to linuxcnc docs. What i intend to do is retrofitting a lathe to cnc (two, maybe three axes) , an additional axe for an attached lathe and on for a dividing head and some encoders /DRO This is all I might need in the (far) future.

Right now, I would just be happy to get linuxcnc, mesact ,board and stepper (driver) "Talk to one another".

cheers

mesaboard is on 2. enp8s0 (see alsö static inet/inet6 addresses) It does show no carrier when unplugged.

eno1 (internet) has automatic connection method.

wlan has been turned off in order not to get confused.

I changed lan cables and now it behaves as it should mesact/machine finds the board and readhmid provides the information as expected.(mesact and terminal)
I wasnt aware of that since I did have acces to the internet anyhow(???).

so thank you very much for the moment This particular problem is solved.


Have nice days
