So 7I76EU firmware for a 7I85 on P2  and 2 PWMgens on P3 is what you want?

I have not. I've been taking too long figuring out if I can make a dual loop feedback system and learning I should pause that endeavor for now. Currently working on seeing if this thing can cut a semblance of a part then hopefully spindle control. Will update if I learn anything.

I got the 7I85

But I had to buy the S version... My mistake

I'll be fine if the P3 with 1 or 2 pwm and all the others P3 ports as IO if possible ?

I'm not clear on what daughter card
you have: 7I85 or 7I85S ?

I can make firmware for either.

System themes have no effect on the gcode editor in the linuxcnc program.

ok I found this firmware corresponding to my card 7I85
forum.linuxcnc.org/27-driver-boards/5823...76eu-7i85-pwm#341493

I should buy the 7I85S

Hello,
have open an issue on github.

Hi Peter,

I need custom firmware for my amazing 7i76EU with:

- 7i76 daughter for router 5 axes + 0-10V vfd (currently working with 7i76eu_7i76x1_7i85sx1d.bin)
- 7i85 (1 serial, 2 encoder, 4 stepgen) on P1 (currently working with 7i76eu_7i76x1_7i85sx1d.bin)  
- 1 or 2 PWM generator on P3 for 20kHz laser control and idealy the rest as I/O port

Can you create such firmware combining all these ? Do you need more info ?

Thanks! 

there is no attached file, make sure you have something like this in your INI

[HAL]
HALUI = halui

[HALUI]
MDI_COMMAND = G53 G0 Z-165

also you cannot use the normal hal file, you must put 

net ztouch halui.mdi-command-00 <= pyvcp.ztouch

in the hal file that loads after the UI, I think postgui.hal usually, depends on the UI

Just to close this topic down, having found the enthusiasm to strip the machine down...

So, it looks like every group of 8 inputs is routed through it's own octal analogue mux, with each input circuit comprised a current limiting resistor, a pull-down resistor (essentially a voltage divider) and a capacitor snubber.

That only one input is at fault suggests either the mux (LV4051), or the RC network on each pin, or the pin itself. I've examined under magnification all joints, and reflowed them all, and the problem remains. Therefore I conclude the most probable fault is on the mux, most likely due to user (my) mishandling,

At this stage, remapping the input to an otherwise unused input closes this problem - tested and proven. I thank you all for your earlier replies.

This is on Mint 22.3 with Mint-L-dark theme, notice the text on the left is clearly visible, on any other black theme no text can be seen there.
And this is not limited to LinuxCNC, many other programs i use daily had the same issue before so i had to revert to bright themes when using them.
What GUI are you using?
I know Axis can be modified, and so can the QT versions.
You can also try to install Mint themes in Debian, or Ubuntu themes. See also Ubuntu Studio as they do have some very nice themes, but forgot what they use as DE.

I have a silly question: how do I install this version to replace the original one that comes with LCN?

Changing any of the colors in Debian settings has no effect on the editor in linuxcnc. That's why I'm here.

1. that is not a LinuxCNC issue, so Debian forums are a much better place to ask
2. i had the same issue on Linux Mint when using the included dark themes, but 22.3 added new dark themes that fixed the issue.
3. you can try fine tuning colors for the dark theme, for text mainly as that worked on Mint so should also work on Debian.

I'm having an issue that I couldn't find a solution that worked. I prefer Adwaita Dark theme. Everything is fine that is when I go to edit a gcode file in linuxcnc, the text highlight washes out the text. See image: 


During my search I have found a script to add to the user command file, it just seems to crash when it tries to load. I have attempted to change the editor in the INI from gedit to mousepad, heck, I can actually leave it blank and it still changes nothing. I have changed the theme to use the system settings, still no change. The only way I can get this to where I can read the highlighted text is to change out of dark theme which isn't ideal. I'm sure there's a solution, I just haven't found one that works. Anyone else find a fix for this?
