Mesa 7i95t and 7i83 Analogue servo card

 

Ok, I think I'm closer to following the syntax now.
hm2_7i95.0.7i83.0.1.analogout1 means:-
7i95, drive0, daughter card 7i83, drive0, interpreted as drive 1, pin analogue out 1,
Not completely sure about that.

'Pins' seem to be  names of terminals  eg hm2_7i95.0.encoder.00.input-b

The attached image I think shows I've two PID systems are setup for the two named X axes.
I assume that's a bad thing and I need to remove the PID stuff for the 7i95?

Maybe the fog is thinning.
Thanks

7i95 #0 --> 7I83 Sserial #0 channel #1 analogout1

Another stupid question from me. When you say:-
"Connect the 7I83 analog out hal pins to the PID outputs"
Is that a physical wire, or something to be written in the hal file?
In hal, make a new config for 7i76E with 7i77, that should get you all the pins for everything, then make a copy and edit the copy to match the Mesa naming and pins:
Stepgens change from 7i76E to 7i95
Encoders change from 7i77 to 7i95
analog out/pid change from 7i77 to 7i83


You say to Change the Stepgens
With  analogue servos and an analogue output card, what stepgen output  entries are required?

Thanks Tommy. I have that version, and was just checking to be sure I hadn't misunderstood something.
All clearer now.
