Emcoturn 120 lathe retrofit

I have the arduino software loaded on linux and have compiled and downloaded the toolerator3000 code to the arduino nano on the toolerator3000 pcba. I am going to try to power up the toolchanger this week, Ill have to mount some din rails on a board for now as I do not have a cabinet yet. At this point the only major component Im lacking (as far as I know ) is the vfd for the spindle drive motor. I ordered a MESA 7i76e saturday night so I assume I will have it midweek, then I can continue through the linuxcnc setup once I have the card coms working.

What spindle motor are you using? We ended up with a 3 HP Black Max Inverter Duty motor from Automation Direct. We also used an Automation Direct VFD...

motor is a Baldor EMM3613 inverter duty 5hp, I plan to add a shaft ground as well

mesa card showed up today Looks like I need to get my power supplies hooked up so I can play. first glance at the linuxcnc setup is that I will need to identify all of the I/O connector pin locations. Does anyone have a list of standard pinouts (if there is such a thing) so Im not doing these at random?

you dont mention which mesa card , to start a new config with the card connected , use pncconf.

Of course reading the manual was my last thought.... Anyway here is the pinout for the Mesa 7i76e card I am using.
