Thank you very much for your explanation.
I can very well understand what you mean by your privacy and I didn't imagine it any differently.
that's why i wrote that i have no ambitions and/or expectations that my issues have to be resolved in a certain amount of time. i feel the same way about my clientele as you do.
english is not my mother tongue, so of course a question i have written can be understood differently by you.
The answer I received is ok, but it's not what I was hoping for. It only takes me a very small step forward
I therefore conclude from this conversation that my question was too imprecise. What I usually miss in my answers is some background information.
I don't want to hold you up with my anecdotes, but perhaps point out what is important to me ...
A small example - I compare my situation with LinuxCNC and my CNC machine with the situation in 1997, when I was working professionally in rally car racing and completely built my own static engine test bench for combustion engines up to 1200hp. At that time I used a PC with Windows NT4, the special control software Rhothron, an industrial PC for real-time control and the engine sensors that had to be connected to the industrial PC.
At that time, the manual was more difficult for me to understand than the LinuxCNC manual. What I did have, however, were basic and schematic example templates from the software manufacturer on how to connect an internal combustion engine to the industrial PC. So it was clear to me that the connections of the sensors had to be placed on certain pins. The pins were intended for a specific function. So I didn't have to do anything other than solder the sensor contacts to the corresponding DB connectors. I then had to set up the graphical control software on NT4 graphically.
So I can see certain parallels there. What I didn't know with LinuxCNC was whether Linux itself recognised certain things or whether I had to configure everything manually. The decisive factor for me was your realisation that the polarity of the ribbon cable from the 7i76 to the 7i92 was reversed. This shows me that Linux recognises certain things itself.
So I didn't answer correctly or not completely enough and would like to try again but differently ...
Can you please help me to find the correct categorisations?
The PNP limit switches (work on halshow). The servos are running. The Excel sheet shows where I have created which contacts, what I don't know and can't read anywhere (manual) or look up (videos) is which assignment is correct.
The Excel sheet shows where I have created which contacts. What I don't know and can't read about anywhere (manual) or see (videos) is which assignment term is to be assigned to which GPIO, etc. I don't have a clear idea of this and I can only test, test, test, but I don't know whether I'll destroy anything in the process. I want to counteract this.
And I like to ask questions here in the forum when I don't know what to do next - it's not because I'm too lazy.
