Another remark.. not sure if that me misunderstanding anything or if its another bug, but witih MesaCT I generated a config to set my outputs 0-7 to sinking and 8-15 to sourcing.
This were the generated lines:
setp hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.output_sink 0xff00
setp hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.output_source 0xff

isnt this "the wrong order"? imho this sets 0-7 to source and 8-15 to sink.. right?

I was generating the bit string backwards which only worked right if all output types were the same. I just fixed that with PCW's help. The inputs and outputs hal has just been fixed as well.

I’ve just discovered that the Mesa Configuration Tool (at least the version available prior to 8/19/2024) does not configure the manual tool change section correctly. I recently discovered this when my file did not stop at the M6 command and continued on to the next set of code. I was able to look at a .hal file set up with pncconfig and copy the manual tool change section from there and now everything works correctly (I get the manual tool change pop up window when the M6 command is encountered). This is a Mill setup that uses the AXIS GUI.

Here are the two configurations:

Pncconfig version that works:

#  ---manual tool change signals---
net tool-change-request   <= iocontrol.0.tool-change
net tool-change-confirmed  => iocontrol.0.tool-changed
net tool-number   <= iocontrol.0.tool-prep-number

#  ---Use external manual tool change dialog---
loadusr -W hal_manualtoolchange
net tool-change-request   =>  hal_manualtoolchange.change
net tool-change-confirmed  <=  hal_manualtoolchange.changed
net tool-number   =>  hal_manualtoolchange.number

#  ---ignore tool prepare requests---
net tool-prepare-loopback   iocontrol.0.tool-prepare   =>  iocontrol.0.tool-prepared

Mesa Configuration Tool version that doesn’t invoke the manual tool change pop-up or pause the code at M6:

#  Manual Tool Change Dialog
loadusr -W hal_manualtoolchange
net tool-change-request   =>  hal_manualtoolchange.change
net tool-change-confirmed  <=  hal_manualtoolchange.changed
net tool-number   =>  hal_manualtoolchange.number

# create signals for tool loading loopback
net tool-prep-loop iocontrol.0.tool-prepare => iocontrol.0.tool-prepared
net tool-change-loop iocontrol.0.tool-change => iocontrol.0.tool-changed

Hello guys! I've just noticed that I/O map for 7i95T from Mesa Configuration tool 2.1.7 is not complete.
The I/O map is missing connector TB5 and TB6 or am i just looking at it wrong?

Or is it because I'll have to configure inputs & outputs under the 7i95t tab to get pin names in my I/O.hal?

It's a mystery to me, that's what the mesaflash command returns

Code:

mesaflash --addr 10.10.10.10 --device 7i95t --readhmid

Maybe PCW can shed some light on that?
