I am using an mx4660 with a 7i92.   I have the .bin and .pin files in the above location. The daughter card menus remain empty, and I can't continue with building a config until I've selected a daughtercard. Any way past this?

Thank you, I really like the format of mesact.

Unfortunately MesaCT the daughters are hard coded, this is one of the many things I'm improving in MesaCT II. For now I'll have to add the MX4660, what version of MesaCT are you using?

I can add that in the morning... or just select the 7i92_5ABOBx2D.bit firmware and you can pick a stepper daughter card.

Thank you, I'm on 1.2.4 downloaded today. I should have thought to check the source code.

Separating that from the source code sounds like a good idea. I will play around with the bob file, do I have to change to that firmware on the card as well or will it work to fudge it?

No need to change the firmware on the card. The original idea was to make sure the correct firmware was selected but that proved to be problematic to program.

Got it to build a config with the BOB settings. LinuxCNC complains about pwmgen.06.enable missing and won't start.

I will dig into it tomorrow.
