CHIRON FZ22L LinuxCNC retrofit

Thank you for helping me out
Do I need firmware for my boards in folder /firmware/hm2 (For 7i77, 7i74, 7i70, 7i71) ?
I tried Pncconf with 7i92  and 7i76 and then deleted all the lines with errors for 7i76 and linuxcnc started 


 

DId you mean 7I92+7I77 as I suggested?

I would make a 7i92+one 7I77 configuration with pncconf
Get the basics working and then add the additional I/O

Do not change the basic 7I92+7I77 hal/ini file set until
everything on the 7I77 works.

As I mentioned, checking the encoders on the 7I77 would
be a good first step to verify your cables

BTW those cables are much easier to make with
IDC (press on) connectors.

Also, as far as I can see from the picture, the HDR26 --> DB25
cables are not correct.

They appear to be

HDR26    DB25
1             1
2             2
3             3
4             4
...

But should be:

HDR26    DB25
1             1
2             14
3             2
4             15
5             3
6             16
7             4
8            17
9             5
10           18
11           6
12           19
13           7
14           20
15           8
16           21
17           9
18           22
19           10
20           23
21           11
22           24
23           12
24           25
25           13
26           NC

That may seem odd but that's the pinout you get with
IDC (Crimp-on) flat cable connectors. Its odd because
HDR26's and DB25's number their pins differently.

Sorry for the waking this topic up after one month. I am wondering about latest situation of the project. Is it fnished or not finished yet? If project finished, what about tool changer. is it working good ?

I am wonderig because i have same machine and i am thinking about controlling it with LinuxCNC too.
