Replied by DerKlotz on topic Add Buttons in Probe Basic
After some days of trial and error i don´t know further

I created a button "Licht" in QtPyVCP. This light button should switch on my hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.output-02 from my Mesa 7i76e. In my probe_basic_postgui.hal and tried to implement this function with no success. See postgui Liine 28 and 29.

In addition it would be nice when the "Licht" button is read when off and turns into green when on. The Power on button in the basic GUI turns into green when on.

I have it working now. I had my serial cable wired wrong. (I had the polarity of the RX and TX wires wrong.)

It's supposed to be a 7i85 not a 7i85s. I'll have to check it in the morning.
I'll also have to check the piece of patch cable I used. It's possible the cable could be suspect.

Yes, it may be a cable issue.

Just verified that:

7i76eu_7i76x1_7i85x1d.bin from the distribution zip file.

md5 checksum:

485114d3d22390a7e5b44d77588981c5  7i76eu_7i76x1_7i85x1d.bin

Works correctly with a 7I85 on P1 (all 5 sserial ports on the 7I85 work correctly)

Is it possible you have a 7I85S rather than 7I85?

Yes, it was sleeping for days before it received the kiss of life!

I drew up my own pin out diagram converting the wire colours to be correct and my 7i73 woke up!
Did it sleep well ?

Take care here, Network cabling comes in two different flavours T568B and T568A. Google for the difference
In my case, Mesa's serial port manual describes one of these standards but in my country the normal standard was the other!

I'll test this setup later today.

(A and B)?
 
Should be
( A and B )?

B with ) is translated to smiley face with glasses ...

Might be cable wiring (if you never even get a green blink  from the 7I84U, there is no communication)

As tommylight asked, do you have both field powers applied ( A and B )?

Yes, the field power is connected.

I have this for the config line in hal
Code:
loadrt hm2_eth board_ip="10.10.10.10" config="num_encoders=5 num_pwmgens=0 num_stepgens=5 sserial_port_0=0000000x"

Is sserial channel 2 enabled in the hal file?

(something like : "sserial_port_0=000xxxxx" in the driver command line)

Also

mesaflash --device 7i76eu  --addr 10.10.10.10  --dbname2  7i85 --readhmid

would list the 7I85 pins, not DB25 pins

7i84 requires having field power on both section for all IO to show up, not sure about the 7i84U.
Is the field power applied to the 7i84U?
