I build a cnc using linuxcnc ethercat, it seems work nice, but the feedrate is very high, in gmoccapy display 4500000mm and in fact the machine run very fast! what did i do wrong things?

It happens that ethercat drives have inputs and outputs one can use for general purposes.
At least my Ect60s have a few. Meant for internal homing I think, but can be used for anything.
Check the drive specs.

I suppose you mean with the Efinix software? If ya get bored and wanna point me in the right direction......
 

The 7i92 uses the Xilinx Spartan 6 FPGA, so you'll need Xilinx ISE.
14.7 is here: www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.ht...ols/archive-ise.html
Install tips here: gist.github.com/aliemo/ce58ea570ee6ffa6d...k_comment_id=5040735
And a fair tutorial is here: tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/emc/xilinx...14_install_index.php

Only have experience with the Xilinx Tools for the Spartan chips.

Using efinix software is not something I've had to do, but I think it has been mentioned on the forum.

Totally feel you on the gamepad struggle—those missing keys can be a real pain! Remapping can be a lifesaver, though. If you're using gmoccapy, you might wanna check out the keymap file in your config. You can assign other buttons to act like Page Up/Down.
Also, some folks swear by using software like JoyToKey or Xpadder to map your gamepad buttons to keyboard keys. It gives you way more flexibility! Just make sure your gamepad is recognized as a joystick in your system settings.
Hope that helps you get your Z-axis control back in action! Happy machining!

Sorry for the trouble guys. Absolutely. It makes a easy replacement if one has a machine already on parallel port as pins can be mapped. 
Need to connect spindle and its quadrature encoder on my existing parallel port machine with the 7i95 ID26 connector also. PWMgen is set at pin 1, spindle ccw at pin 5 and spindle cw at pin 4 of the BoB. Please guide.
