7i64 & 7i70 - 7i44 - 5i23 support?

Does pncconf support the 7i70 and 7i64 when connected to a 5i23?

Thanks

It can. It needs the XML file for the 5i23's firmware which you probably don't have.
If you send me the firmware .PIN file I could hand build one for you.
What version of linuxcnc are you using ? I recommend the 2.5 from buidbot as it has the latest bugfixes.

Here are links to the pin and bit file. I am running 2.5 now.

7i33 on P2
7i44 on P4


7i64 on port 0
7i64 on port 1
7i70 on port 2

Thanks

Try this file. (unzip it of course)
You must put it in the /lib/firmware/hm2/5i23 folder
You need sudo rights to do that.
An easy way is to open a terminal and type sudo nautilus

it will ask your password then open a sudo file browser.

The 7i44 will be connected to the 5i23's P4 connector.
In PNCconf on I/O connector 4 you will see the sserial channels 0,1,2,3 and 4 (5-7 are not available in PNCconf presently)
select the cards on each channel and make sure the cards are connected to the same channels on the 7i44.
The 7i64 is nice as it has LED output so you can see if it works with out connected any field wires..

let me know of any problems.

The 7i70 tab 0 lists inputs and tab 1 lists outputs.

Both of these should be inputs.

Thanks

hmm thats not what I got... I bet there are bug fixes that affect this - damn -
it seemd you need the buildbot version of 2.5 it has the current bug fixes.

Are you using the released version of linuxcnc?
