Hi Again
anyone know if i can get a controler capable of 8 axis control?
i need
X
Y
Z
B
C1
C2
Z2
torque motor spindle (its basicly another servo)
i dont have anything that will connect into the spindle ports I think (c1 and c2 are both capable of 4500rpm) I was told this can be set via macros so its not used as spindle
i know about the mesa 7i77 but is it possable to connect 2 of them together?
thank you

Yes you can use 2 7i77 daughter cards with a Mesa 5i25 or any one of the other cards that the 7i77 can be used with. In fact if you buy a Mesa 5i25/7i77 Plug-N-Go kits, the 7i77x2 is the standard firmware that comes installed.

There is the 7i65
store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=produc...83_86&product_id=109
Which needs one of the 50-pin PCI cards. The 5i24 or 6i24 are probably the most cost-effective (though the 7i80-HD is probably worth a look too)
You would need a second card for GPIO, at which point 2x7i77 might be better.

is the 7i80-HD going to use Ethernet port?
that would be incredibly handy
so is 12 axis that max for linuxcnc then or can you keep adding more cards? (I don't need to just curios)
thank for getting back to me

I would suggest the 7I77 instead of the 7I65 just because its much more commonly used with LinuxCNC
(this needs a 25 pin FPGA card like a 5I25, 6I25, (PCI,PCIE) 7I92 or 7I80DB (Ethernet))

LinuxCNC can control as many servos as it can handle PID components, which appears to be 16.
However, G-code only has 9 axis letters (X, Y, Z, A, B, C, U, V, W) so for practical purposes the limit is 9 axes if you need simultaneous coordinated movement.
The 16-channel limit would be an easy thing to change, but requires recompilation.
