No the firmware has to be rebuilt and the FPGA reprogrammed. It's not so hard to build firmware yourself.

So you want to connect the mesa card/cards to the router (wired) and the computer to the router via wifi ?
Generally it's advised to connect the mesa card directly to the computer via a cable, no switch/hub/router involved.
I think network latency would be the issue. And each mesa card would have to have it's own IP, sorry if you already know this, but not everyone is wise to basic networking.

Sure, but that's just one example. Because I haven't done all the configuration yet, in the XML below, I show some outputs and inputs, where value is used to read the MPG signal.

PCW, I assume you're still watching this thread.....

I just picked this thing back up again after quite some time and am repurposing it for sort of a "dual role" machine. I need to add another PWM output, I assume I can't just modify the pin file for the 7i92t since the other file is a binary right?

Ok so stupid quick question.  its been a minute, but im in the process of finally building my 4x8 router after getting moved.  I got a super snazzy computer cart for it and i had the idea to use an old router i had lying around to network all my machines so i can use one computer to control them instead of a dedicated one for each machine. to keep my cords to a minimum (and freakin trip hazards!), i was going to try and use wifi to connect to the router from the computer. before i start stretching cords, is this feasible?  i’ve googled and cant seem to find the minimum network speed for a 7i96 to be able to work. oh and this will be a dedicated network, probably no internet on a wifi N router (300mbps). if not im sure i can hustle up a cheap wifi 5/6 one too!

Fixed tittles for both, links still work, pinning it and locking it now so if you can not post or edit do let me know on the other topic.
Thank you.

Is there any other cam software for tangential knife except sheetcam ?

Thanks Mark,
I had a quick look at the link and I'll have to spend a few days looking at it. I've already downloaded what looks like the circuit diagrams for my model Maho. I wish I'd known before. I used a similar but very different one for a 600 to help my rewiring. But there are so many variations! As you recall, a lot of mine wiring was botched by whoever refitted the Heidenhain in replacement the the Philips controller. No wiring ferule numbers and all the wiring either orange or blue.And lots of redundant wiring and relays left in place.

For Chris: I use Firefox for my browser. If it notices the language as different to your native one it puts at  the right in the box where you put the web address, a translate button that will translate from German to English and many others. It works very well, which is something that didn't before AI. I'd go to Marks link and look there for your issue.
I think you are telling me that you have the ram and spring assembly apart as I show on page 171 near the bottom. I didn't pull mine part further than shown in the photo, so I can't help further.
But both retraction systems work simultaneously when you energize the tool change hydraulics. So I would try connecting it back onto the hydraulic elbow at the rear again, but with it outside the machine, then activate the tool change so you can see what it tries to do.
Cheers,
David

Doesn't help you but in the latest QtDragon, we added:

# new way: 'MDI_COMMAND_SSS = XXXX' (SSS being any string)
# order of commands doesn't matter in the INI

Just for the reason you mention.

Chris, I guess you have already heard of viaconstructor (github.com/multigcs/viaconstructor).
If not you may can get some inspiration of the graphical part ... and it is also using Qt
 

No I didn't thank you - looks interesting.
I compiled your Ncam branch and it is helping for testing my work. Thanks.

If we fix the berry bit will the links still be good or do they need modifying ?
Pinning it would be a good idea, was hoping you would ask
Locking just to keep it clean, I like it

Thanks
Tommy
