I stared to use the Github Wiki. If that's the way of moving forward with the documentation, I am happy to help. Here is a simple example. github.com/xsnoopy/riocore/wiki/BitIn
 

the problem with your test page is that the plugin readme's are all generated from the source code,
so they are always up to date and the text is also visable in rio-setup.

A kind of tips&tricks page would be cool for a wiki or installation instructions, for example

If someone wants to describe the plugins better, you can do that in plugin.py, e.g. here:

github.com/multigcs/riocore/blob/dev/rio...ns/bitcopy/plugin.py

than you can update the readme.md with:

Take better pictures.

Hi,  

I am back.  I got very busy and got sick and have just now been able to get to the software side of things.  I added a picture of the pumps I am using because that is kind of fun. 

But I am having trouble connecting to my board using Mesaflash. It seems like this is not an uncommon problem for people to have, but despite reading the multiple forum post about this issue I am unable to find a solution that works for me.  I am getting the error "No **** board found" I have tried every board name I can think of but nothing is working.  I currently have a 7i96s and a 7i85s linked together, so I assume the board name is a combination of these two.  There doesn't seem to be a way to see what board is connected.. 

A note about the 7i85s.  At one point I had 6 drivers connected to my machine, which is why I needed the 7i85s.  However, I am no longer using all the boards.  One of my drivers is still connected to the 7i85s but I can move it to the 7i96s.  I am saying all this because I am assuming that the new firmware (the 7i96s_pmd.bin) will not work with the 7i85s connected. I am assuming this because of the name.. 

Anyway.  Can someone please help me figure out how to get in communication with the board I have.  I am talking to it through an ethernet cable, I don't know how to tell the terminal that that is how I am communicating though.. I have tried both 10.10.10.10 and 192.168.1.121.  
 

Start at the beginning and test every step progressively.
1. If you get an error finishing read, all inputs are disabled. 
2. Confirm with a multimeter that the wiring is correct and you can see voltage changes at the Mesa input
3. Confirm that your hal file is referencing the  pin you have connected your wire to in halshow
4. Check all pins in halshow for activity when the switch is activated in case you have wired it to the wrong input

It is so easy to wire things up wrong so it's important to follow a step by step approach to trouble shoot issues.

With qtdragon I have blank toolpath screen, but it only appearing when exit prompt appear.
I tried with fkms,kms -pi5 etc but without results, regular axis display working correctly.

cool new feature/plugin:

github.com/multigcs/riocore/tree/dev/riocore/plugins/bitcopy

@TntMold, @sockheavan,
Please follow this sticky if you repositories are not installing
forum.linuxcnc.org/ethercat/53785-instal...thercat-repositories

Unfortunately, there are licencing and legal implications that prevent Linuxcnc from doing what Grotius did.
If the developers do not deploy the changes to the ISO I have made on my request, These issues will continue.
 

sorry Tommy I have been side tracked all month. I will change the base back to 1million and give it try.

For example

0  Grounds inputs 0,1 with CR1 and CR2 = 00b = 0d

Means in the schematic i provided, switch position 0 grounds 7I73
inputs for bits 0 and 1 resulting in a binary code of 00 (00b) which is decimal 0 (0d)

The 7I73 input best suited to this use have pullup resistors
which means the will read high when unconnected. This is important
as it determines the switch connections.

And please please do not connect 24V anywhere near the 7I73...
 

Thank you! I learn something new in every single line of this thread. In case it's not already obvious, I know what I want the end product (the control panel) to look like, but I know next to nothing about how to get there in LinuxCNC. Just wait until I start talking UI!

Roger that about the 24v - the 7i73 outputs 5v. I was mixing up two different concepts when I said 24v. I will correct that in the graphic, too, but more importantly I am going to use purpose-built binary switches, instead of building a binary switch from scratch.

Has anyone been able to use M codes to operate a Robotic Arm gripper yet? I have a post for a Scorbot-ER-3 and Linuxcnc 2.9.1 which uses a gui and mouse to open and close the gripper, but need to make a M code for this function. Please help

I wiped the disk and reloaded LinuxCNC 2.9.2 but still get invalid signatures

Try asking here as he will get a notification of reply on topic he started
forum.linuxcnc.org/10-advanced-configura...e-feed-range-problem
Or write a comment on youtube, he has a channel with the same name there.
Not both at the same time, use one, wait a day or two then use the other.

Is BaxEDM implementation of LinuxCNC publicly available or do you have to buy his spark generator to get it?
