How to build a spaceship with Linuxcnc and a Mesa 7i76e was created by rodw
I've had in mind to do this for a long time. But here is a tutorial about how to start with a Mesa 7i76e
It covers all the basics:
Power connection,
Mesa IP address config
Connecting inputs - mechanical and proximity sensors
Connecting relays and triggering them with M3/M4 and M64/M65
There is still more to come.... but I thought 50 minutes was long enough.
But if you are just starting out, it will be the best 50 minutes you'll ever spend!
