OK, went through those, and i have to agree with PCW on number 2 here
forum.linuxcnc.org/10-advanced-configura...fb-mesa-7i76e#112557
It is pretty much useless as it does a lot of things but the thing it should do, it does not, namely amplifier fault!
I would not use it.

No idea where or how you got those numbers, but utmost respect for effort in getting things right.
Start with 300mm/s/s, do some tests, then go higher, but most probably 750 will be to much for short fast movements like Fusion360 does.
I am refraining from further "muddying the waters" for now as:
1. i have no idea what "HLFB" is
2. -deleted-
 

HLFB "high level feedback" is many things, but it can work like a drive alarm and that's what I will be using it for. There have been a couple of posts on it, but they all go nowhere and the OP never comes back and says "I did this thing exactly like this, and it worked. Here is how to recreate what I did."

For examples of dead ends, here you go:

I just want to know what to enter into what box, and move on. I am at the pncconf step, so any talk about ini files or HAL or anything past pncconf is not yet relevant to me. I need to know what to tell pncconf what to do with the inputs I connected the HLFB circuits to. And I need to know if I have connected it properly in the first place. I don't know what I don't know.
 

I'm adding a touch probe to a ChinaZone 6040 with a Mesa 7i76e card following what seems to be pretty simple instructions from forum.linuxcnc.org/49-basic-configuratio...obe-with-a-mesa-7i96.  It's really close, but generating an error. 

When I click on "Tool Touch Off Z" in the side panel, I get a blank error (see attached pic):
<l> (?) [x]

Where should I look to find the problem?  I've gone through the example a few times and am just missing it somehow.  I've checked the Linux logs, but haven't found anything yet.

• Axis 2.8.4 (I can upgrade if that would help)
• Hal Meter signal probe-in turns to true when the touch probe is triggered, so the wiring & HAL seem correct
• I've run each of the commands in the ngc file using the MDI tab and they all function as expected
• The 5 updated files are attached and each has it's full path in the comments at the top of the file
  
  Thanks,
