What IP address is selected on the 7I97T?

What does the command:

ip a

return?

 

Hi 
Coming from my safe world of Mach 3 and 4 I have now made the jump into Linuxcnc. 
OMG its complicated!
I have spend almost a week trying to set up Linuxcnc 2.9.4 (and a couple of other versions) on the mesa 7i97T card. 
Is there anybody out there who has made this work?
I can make it ping but thats as far as I can get. From here there is only "board not found"

Is there any known challenges in this setup and will it ever work?

Best regards

Nicolaj Hvid

I tested the signals on the rotary control.
The pins for feed.selected light up depending on the selection.
whb.halui.feed-override.scale always remains 0.
whb.halui.max-velocity.value always remains 166.666. 
 

    Use this xml file instead. There are all the ios configured.
Also you have to program on each drive the following:
P2-18 -> 0x0130
P2-19 -> 0x0131
P2-20 -> 0x0132
P2-21 -> 0x0133
P2-22 -> 0x0134
P4-06 -> 0x0000
Or use the attached parameter file if you have the asda-soft.
Rename the *.txt file to *.par

Rod asked you to post the result ofin a terminal.

also i have issues accessing the analog and spindle part, don't know if it is linked to the framework or something else.

I don't think I've lost the network.
I've selected the pci card to connect to my network (in fact, I can normally access internet).
BTW, this evening (here's almost 6 pm) I hope to make another try (if my wife allow me  )

Sounds all sensible to me but I really don't feel competent to comment on the proposed path.
I certainly like the structured approach of your initiative, that is something that has been sorely lacking in other attempts.
I think/hope that Rob will be able to give an educated opinion on it and shape it into a concrete roadmap.

Note that Mitsubishi SSCNET requires a servo cycle <= 222us

defenetly is great to have something faster then 1ms .. ethercat can run at 50us with 16axis but this complex calculations are far slower for now 

I think 250us is very pretty goal (common industrial standard) at any hardware and then reduce it based at used hardware 

HAL file (with @andypugh suggestion) attached, as well as current ini file

I am new to this forum. I read a post where he Addis he was retrofitting a Kuhlmann machine with new electronics. I am in United States and have a Kuhlmann with a burnt board and need to get it running again. I think he might can give me some direction.

Upload some pictures of it here, also the electronics box and wiring pictures/PDF anything...

No spindle there, attach the hal and ini files here so we can have a look.

@meister, thanks.
I can only get linuxcnc top load if I revert to my original HAL, and with your suggestion the results of the grep spindle command are as in the screenshot 

From LinuxCNC documentation:

Still does not explain setting deadband causing a joint error.

I do not think so, and i never tried.
I use strictly Inkscape for plasma machines, it is easy to use and works perfectly fine, except for nesting that requires dividing cuts into layers and groups, so a bit more fiddly and i do not bother with it, it is easier for me to just edit the resulting gcode and move stuff around.
