Hi all, I had a working 5i25+7i76 setup running my 3 axis Bridgeport mill and would like to modify my config to run the 7i76E. I have the 7i76E running on a test setup and was wondering what the simplest way to modify the config to run the new Mesa card would be? Thanks

It should be pretty simple to change. Basically all that needs to change
is the card name (from 5i25 to 7i76e) and the driver name/command line,
from:
loadrt hm2_pci config="blah.blah blah"
to:
loadrt hm2_eth board_ip=10.10.10.10 config="blah.blah blah"

Thanks, PCW, got everything working minus my handwheel mpg, the line below is what is causing the issue and I have attached the debug report. Commenting that line out lets the machine function without the mpg, I can jog it around with the mdi buttons on the screen at least.

net mpg-out ilowpass.0.in <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.enc0.count
net mpg-out ilowpass.0.in <= hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.enc0.count    previous hal line used with the 5i25 7i76 combo.

Do you still have a "sserial_port_0=20xx" token in the driver config line?

I have the machine back up and running now, everything works as before but I am getting the below messages shortly after starting linux cnc up. Looking through my config , I don't see anything that may cause this but, I am not an expert. I have not cut any parts with the machine but it seems to run just fine. i am running the latest stable raspberry Pi image downloaded from this site on a 4gb Pi4


Thanks. again for the help.
