I tested by cutting/pasting your previous and new files; it shows the difference and it gives you the ability to merge the differences line by line.

Hi I can give this a try with BIGTREETECH Manta M8P and closed loop stepper motors and drivers. If you can help me with the wiring and everything.

Recording works fine now, thanks for the fix.

I see a few more wrong button dimensions in the qtdragon vert file, I'll fix that. (I think I didn't send the right file)
Which jog button layout is better?

The 7I95/7I95T has no analog input so an encoder is probably a better choice
( Using either a high speed encoder or a MPG on the isolated inputs )

Another possibility is to add a 7I73 which has analog/encoder/keypad support
 

Agreed, this has had me stall posting for a few weeks...Pretty sure I was using 2.7.14 when setting up the 7i76e, and 2.8.2 most recently.I've not been great with version control, while moving across computers and machines. These might be the last working files, but unsure...  Laser signal as 'sj' in line 39

Servo box inner bits:

 


Spindle SSR:
 

Pendant box inner bits:
This whole board, just to read the MPG, and inject some keyboard commands.

I think it would be helpfull to mention your previous os version and linuxcnc version, also include hal and ini pre-overhaul when the machine was operating properly.

Yes, you're right... it was XP. 

Here's how I found it.

As a Canadian, I’ve always preferred buying from MesaUS. They typically use USPS/Canada Post for shipping, which is far more affordable than other carriers. However, today I did a quick search for their website and didn’t get any results. I'm unsure whether the site is temporarily down or if Mesa US has shut down operations altogether. John, the owner, has been an active and helpful member of this forum—hopefully he’ll chime in soon and clarify what's going on.
I don;t use step/dir cards in my projects but the 7i96 seems to be the most popular card for step/dir projects.

Hello, I started to modify the file, go to the ini file, but I don't know how to assign the float switch to pin 02.

My understanding, you would like to add a hardware  estop and  potentiometer to set feed override to your Mesa 7i95.
Since I have never configured a 7i95 I used Microsoft AI Copilot to generate add ons to hal and ini. see attached.

A quick scan of the 7i95 manual  did not show any reference to an analog input, you may need to open a new discussion in the board interface section of the forum and see if there is a custom file that can convert one of  7i95 pwm pins to accept 5v analog input.

Note if you encounter errors when testing  ask copilot for help, it seems to be well trained  with linuxcnc configuration.

What I have noticed till now is ... the DC configuration it has the main influence for timing ... I have older stuff as Kollmorgen S300 where it is little bit different but linecreates me lags and jerks in the motion .. I just customized this line to and everything was gone ... 
Output refrence from twincat3 setup looks like - something like

Be careful because it is configurable for twincat Nc task axis setup is axis lag watching possible to disable and there are any running speed possible to get... I think they have 7phase generator to control to axis movement which is probably more powerfull then lcnc trajectory generator ... They have native ec drivers for they native hardware .. but I am not specialist, I have just 15y of experiences which is nothing... 

Hi Endian, thanks for the info.  I'm actually using the CNC component of twincat and it does monitor axis position lag.   When I get some time I would like to try your converter to see if I can take the twincat ethercat config and convert it to LCNC...perhaps this would solve the issue.
