7I76 Pin Correlations

 

I need it for the 7i76 and 5i25 combination

Make a 7i92/7i76 config, edit the .hal file by replacing all entries of 7i92 with 5i25 by using the "search and replace" feature on all GUI text editors (xed, mousepad, geany, etc), and there is another line near the top that has to be changed from hm2_eth to hm2_pci

And remove the IP address part of the config.

I should make that configuration tool for both 5i25/6i25 and 7i92 as they are almost the same.

It looks like you put a lot of effort into that software, whats the difference between yours and pconf thats part of the lcnc package? ive always modified my hal files by hand so im not familiar with either.

Ive looked all over and cant seem to find any documentation that correlates a physical connection to a HAL pin name. 
 

It isn't all that straightforward. For example all the 7i76 GPIO pins are controlled by two of the smart-serial pins (DB25 pins 7 and And the stepgen HAL pins do not look anything like you would see with a parallel port. You will just see stepgen enable and position / velocity command pins in HAL, and the terminal blocks that these produce steps on can not be altered in HAL. so hm2_5i25.0.stepgen.0.position-command will produce steps on 7i76 TB2 pins 2/3 and dir on TB2 pins 4/5 and those steps are passed through from the 5i25 on DB25 pins 14 and 1.

So, I think you are looking for a 1:1 mapping that simply does not exist. The 5i25/7i76 HAL pins correlate to functions, not to specific terminal block pins.
