Souldn't be there 7 encoder inputs?

Muxed encoders, so that would make 8 available encoders.
Muxed = multiplexed , IIRC that is 2 encoders on a single channel .

In MesaCT I configured 6 axis on 7i95T and one on 7i78, but for that one there are no stepgens defined in .hal file:

# PID Information for Stepper Boards
# Mesa hardware step generators at every servo thread invocation, the step
# generator hardware is given a new velocity. Without feedback from the PID
# controller the hardware position would slowly drift because of clock speed and
# timing differences between LinuxCNC and the step generator hardware.
# The PID controller gets feedback from the actual (fractional) step position and
# corrects for these small differences.

Looks like a mesact bug.

In the mean time you could just copy/paste/renumber
the stepgen section from another axis to get it working.

Fixed the 7i78 stepgens, download the deb again and reinstall.

I'm trying to add spindle enable and spindle out to my configuration (7i95T + 7i78), but heaving some difficulties to set it up in mesa CT as it is all greyed out under spindle tab and also under 7i78 outputs. Only under 7i95T outputs are 6 of them available.
I would like to use spindle outputs from 7i78.

Is there any readme on how to add .bin files for a new board to this? I have the Mesa 7i76eu, successor to the 7i76e, and have downloaded the firmware files from the mesa site but am unsure of how to add them to the configuration tool.

Any help is appreciated,

7i76EU has been added to Mesa CT just now. I've not tested the configuration yet.

Appreciate the prompt action, I also got a reply from the Mesa folks that you can select and build configs with 7i76E as well.
