mesaus has one:

mesaus.com/product/7i76eu/

 and our EU dealers have more

We should have the next build lot done in about 4 weeks

Definitely works when creating a new config (tested on 2.9.10 and master) .

[edit]
It does not work when editing an existing config.

WTH man?
Oh yeah, you like to be lied to that you have 20 cores....

That is really disappointing Rod.

Nope, it does not when editing an existing config for sure, did not check when creating a new one.
This was on 2.10 or master.

Many thanks Tommylight, seems all clear to me about the mesa boards and encoders.
I will take a look on the mesa website to see how i get all this different boards connected. So, if I got it correctly I need 2 mesa boards the 7i96S and the 7i85S which get connected together. That should work for me.

I will try to take a look on that DMM delay you are talking to. Also because I want to make this machine to work in our shop and I do not care if there is a slight new cost to add to make it go well and precise. I was even thinking of buying the DYN5 servo drives to have EtherCAT if needed. Altogh I prefer to use what I already have, the DYN4, but if needed I can also buy other servos and drives. Then I can always use these DMM ones for something else.

As for the virtual machine, its just more practical to me to make tests and get used to linuxcnc during my work time with my laptop. Later I will set up an dedicated computer. The idea is to buy a new industrial PC for use with the machine.

Thank you I will give that a look
 

Immerhin bekommst du eine Verbindung hin.
Ich hab's irgendwann aufgegeben und das Tuning Manuel durchgeführt.
Übrigens, Stepperonline hatte sich hier gemeldet und eine weiterführende Tuning Anleitung eingestellt.

There is one on ebay right now for $200.

In my opinion, some model RPIs (4 or 5) are capable enough to make a control using Linuxcnc, but a PC will generally make a more robust and reliable system, and probably not cost significantly more.

The 'pncconf' configuration tool does this automatically.

If you want to check the `P` values in the ini file against the `SERVO_PERIOD` then this might be something that a GUI could do on start up followed by a message pop up in the GUI.

I frequently use the run pause..run from here feature...not sure if that exposes the weaknesses

Seems to be getting worse...

Nice to hear, I'm glad it was helpful.

   I have a new build project coming up and I need a 7i76EU for the build. But as my luck
usually runs Mesa Electronics is sold out of them. Does anyone know when more 
are expected to be in stock?

Hello, Aciera
After reading the paper you sent, I gained a lot of insights. Based on the method described in the paper, I successfully derived the kinematics that fits my machine tool configuration. Currently, it has been successfully implemented on my machine, and no other issues have been identified so far.
Lastly,thank you very much for your help!
