5i25 + 7i73

Thank you!
.

halcmd show pin *7i73*

When LinuxCNC is running

Hm, output is empty.
May be, this works together with the hardware only?
The point is, I stil don't know, how to connect to hardware

Thank you any way!

So to use the Pin10 of the second connector of the third 7i73 the pin-notation would be

hm2_5i25.0.7i73.0.2.input-15

right?

No, that would be input-07 (7I73 manual page 7)

Hm, when I count the input pins, there are 8 at connector P1 and 8 at connector P2, which in sum are 16 or 15 as 0-based index.
.

If you do not have the 5i25 installed either then that would explain the "hm2_pci not found" too.

Hm, I installed hostmot2-firmware-all ...
... and I created a xml-file like the one from pinned 5i25 thread in /lib/firmware/hm2/5i25/

What else do I need to install?

Hi,

my hardware seems to be ready for testing, so I did a fresh install (debian preempt + linuxcnc from master). But pncconf does not work, so I have to do all manually

mesaflash showed the output of 5i25_RMA.txt:


As I don't have a configuration to start linuxcnc, I used halrun and entered the commands manually, which leaded to 5i25_RMA_hal.out.txt:

The result from show pin hm2_5i25 differred a lot from my expectations. Don't know, what I should do with the result.

show pin 7i73 did not show anything. Do I need to load an additional driver for that?
Or how can I investigate a 7i73 card?

First run of latency-test gave pretty poor result. How important is the latency when using mesa cards?

How does it fail?

How is the 7i73 connected to the 5i25?

I build a BOB with this group:

.

How does it fail?

error is something like "glade not found" - and I installed all glade related libs already

Is the 7i73 powered?

OUPS - my fault.
Sorry! didn't think about that
