Mesa 7i92M Support

Will the next version of LinuxCNC include pncconfig support for the Mesa 7i92M coupled with the Gecko G540?

unfortunately, I don't believe pncconf is not going to be continued in the future.
I have seemed to lost interest in maintaining it and I don't think anyone else will pick it up.

Sorry

Will there be a simple alternate method incorporated into linuxcnc?

Thanks, I will give it a try.

Not that I know of. editing a sample config will be it.

This maybe hijacking the thread but... I foresee using some sort of Mesa products in the future and probably don't know as much about LCNC as I should. My machine requirements are fairly unique and I doubt that any configuration wizard would ever be able to completely meet my needs. However as long as there is a sample configuration that has the basic requirements in place for a usable .ini and .hal file that I can then figure out and edit for my specific needs I would be very happy. I find that it is much easier to comment out lines that I don't need than it is to write new lines and get all of the syntax correct in the first few tries.

I am really impressed by how much has been done to make this free software available and how much support the forum offers. I was willing to purchase commercial software but it was not at all adaptable to my specific needs. Thanks!

I went into the pncconfig and looked under the 5i25. The is no selection for the G540 nor is there a stand alone option. When I pick any of the others the setting are all blank. Charge pump on pin 16 cannot e found. From what I understand pncconfig is being dropped. I tried to see if there was a correlation between my work stepconfig and the pncconfig and I don't see one. I thought when I purchased the card that after two ears of being available there would be better configuration support within linuxcnc. The mesa card was purchase preconfigured to e used with the G540. I followed the instructions supplied and nothing. John Thornton (Thank you) sent me an ini and a hal file which I put in the appropriate folder. When I run linuxcnc the screen comes up up I can turn nothing on. If turn off the charge pump on the G540, I just move the axis. What am I missing, as for the settings in the pncconfig mean nothing to me.
