How to test a servo with linuxcnc ? was created by vre
I want to test a servo witch takes step-dir and outputs ABZ encoder also has 4 general inputs and 4 general outputs.
How can i check it with linuxcnc & mesapci card without setting a full config ? I want just to jog from linuxcnc..

if its a step/dir drive, you should be able to take the hm2-stepper sample config
make whatever board specific changes are needed in the ini file (no more than a few characters)
wire step and dir to your drive, start linuxcnc and jog around.
Next, you can change the ini file parameters get scale, direction, velocity, acceleration
and step timing parameters optimized
If you plan to use the drives quadrature output, you can wire that to a encoder input and setup input scale so the the encoder position matches the stepgen position, and then go from there
