LinuxCNC 2.8 pre (latest), 7i96 was created by ikkuh

Hi,

Had a machine as a spare, installed LinuxCNC and a 7i96 card. Worked fine. Forgot about the machine until this weekend when my chinese BOB's failed. So I thought I take the new machine and wire the steppers over. Installed the machine, ran all the updates for Debian aswell as LinuxCNC during first bootup.
But the new machine will not start up LinuxCNC anymore, it used to work fine at my other place.

What am I doing wrong???

Suggests that you are trying to load the hostmot2 PCI card driver in your hal file...

It is running now. Changing from Chinese 6600 steppers to DM556 drivers.

thanks for your help!

Speaking of 7i96, when will Mesa have them in stock? I messaged them on the store website, but they don't answer.

They appear to be in stock at www.eusurplus.com/

I own a 7i96 and with hindsight in mind I would rather have bought the 7i76e. The 7i76e has more on-board I/O (I know the 7i96 has a expansion connector) and is better supported in LinuxCNC. It only costs a third more then the 7i96 and you will have loads more options then the bare 7i96.

See: forum.linuxcnc.org/27-driver-boards/3633...est-mesa-card#130662

7I76E:
5 step/dir channels
16 12/24V outputs
32 12/24V inputs
Spindle encoder input
Analog spindle interface
1 serial expansion port
2 parallel expansion ports

7I96:
5 step/dir channels
6 12/24V outputs
11 12/24V inputs
Spindle encoder input
1 serial expansion port
1 parallel expansion port

There is a bit file to get pwm working on the 7i96, but it involves adding a Chinese BOB to the expansion connector. So that is really not a workable solution, the 7i76e has pwm built in.

Also is the 7i76e supported by pncconf. The 7i96 is not. There is a great utility to get you started in the form of the 7i96.py script that JT made and published, but 'native' support in pncconf is missing.

No need for chinese BOB, all of the VFD's i have worked with lately have a setting to be controlled by 0-5V or 0-10V. All it takes is to edit that setting and it can be controlled from any 5V board.

What use is that remark?
You are just confusing users. What does it mean: "and it can be controlled from any 5V board" How does that work with a 7i96?
