Okay so I ordered a 7i76eu board a 10.9 touch screen a vandal resistant keyboard and mouse and a little fan less pc. 5v powersupply and a 24v powersupply. A incremental ebay linear encoder. I also programmed a little python program that will act as a gui.  

You could consider adding this to the Wiki too.

FWIW the penguin is called "Chips" (though I don't recall if he capitalises his name)

Hi everybody,
i found some threats (e.g. Simulate a mesa 7i96 (solved)) where a component was written for mocking a 7i96e mesacard. Nevertheless i didn't found this component code published and as i'm using myself a 7i76e card i wrote a component on my own for mocking/simulating this driver.
My idea was to use the same .ini and .hal-files (and .tcl-files with some if statements -)) as on my real milling machine to keep the adaptions between simulation and real machine as low as possible.
In case it is interesting/helpful, i put the component-code on github.com/pkl42/linuxcnc_components_sim.git 
Also not all available pins are included right now, i added a detailed list on the git repository.
I tried to write the component in a generic way, so it should be quite easy to add missing pins or even adapting a 7i95 or 7i96 card.
