Mesa 5i20 and 7i48

I'm tackling my 2nd mill conversion, this time a Hurco MD3. It has X, Y, Z, A, Spindle, and a MPG so I bought the 6 axis 7i48 daughter card to go with the 5i20. To my dismay, I've found that PnCConf doesn't allow me to configure more than 4 axis on the #2 I/O connector.

I'm definitely still in the point and click league; is there any way to get there from here?

Thanks,
Frank

What version of EMC are you using?
If you are using pre production 2.5 then PNCconf can configure all the encoders.
If not (which it sounds like) sorry you will have to hand configure the extra encoders or upgrade to pre released 2.5 (which is not too hard)

I might add that pncconf does not set the PWM's to the right mode for the 7i48 in the earlier version which is easy to fix after the fact but it doesn't tell you that.

Let me know where you are at and sorry for the surprise.

I'm using version 2.4.7. Where can I get 2.5?

Easiest way is probably to use the buildbot snapshots
Follow the instructions at buildbot.linuxcnc.org

Thanks Peter.

just to remind you the 7i48 requires PWM with up/down mode set it on the mesa page (look at the pintype combobox)
and the PWM base frequency of 24 000 hz.

Thanks for all your help Chris.
