from what I can tell the pnconfig doesn't give the option for step/direction, and the stepper configurator doesn't do addressing other than parport, so the mesa addressing would have to all be put in later. Im not at the shop now so I can't show what the set up is now, but to me it looks like its analog when it need to be step and dir.. I did attach my hal and ini in the first post.

If you're creating a custom GUI have a look at Flex GUI as that is exactly what it's made for.

If you get the link LED (Yellow) on the RJ45, its not likely a firmware issue
but rather an Ethernet issue.

If you ping the card, do the green LEDs on the 7I96S count up?
 

Yes. I chose parport/stepper config. That opened fine.

Hi all

I was happily using my 7i96s with LinuxCNC on my Mill. This week i powered on the machine and LinuxCNC was not able to connect. Ping 10.10.10.10 also got no response. So i picked a new 2m Lan Cable and connected the Laptop to the Mesa Card  (thought the cable from the cabinet might be damaged) - no Change I removed all connectors from the Mesa except the Power, still no change. I put the Mesa card on my bench, inspection did not show any damage. The Link Led is on, traffic led blinking from time to time. I did set the jumper W4/W5 down/down for 192.168.1.121 fallback ip (changed my laptop ip also ofc ), still no luck.
I did set the jumpers up/down for bootp and connected it to my router - it got stuck with red led on boot and no device did show in dhcp or the switch arp table.
The card was all the time inside a cabinet and there was no change to any electronics or firmware. I replaced the card with the one from my lathe - worked like a charm.

So the question: There is a firmware "7i96s_16m_fallback.bin", should i try to flash this on the card (the electronic guys at work have jtag equipment) ? 
From the manual :  "Note that the card IP address is fixed at 192.168.1.121 when the IP select jumpers are in the UP,UP setting. If this fails, the 7I96Ss EEPROM must be re-programmed via the JTAG connector or (faster) JTAG FPGA load followed by Ethernet EEPROM update"

Anyone has done this before and could give me some hints please ? Thanks

There is something terribly wrong there, buffer overflow detected, several segmentation faults, and multiple core dumps.
Try runing one of the included configs for parallel port from config picker, see if that works with Axis gui.

Sollte das nicht sein:

pwmgen.0.pwm-freq ?

this is dry setup...You ve done them in tc build 4026.60 and I have 4024.59 and downloading yours... you do not use a legacy mapping but that else? why?tomorrow I check them live on my koppler and will exact customize mapping if it does not work... dmesg -v me with ethercat debug 1regards

Hi,
I am moving an existing working configuration to a new computer running Debian 12 and a newly downloaded version of LinuxCNC.
The Gmoccapy sims open fine, but I get an error attempting to open my configuration.
The message appears to reference Python, so I have attached copies of the .py files from the configuration Python folder and a copy of the report (linuxcnc.txt). I have also attached a copy of the .hal and.ini files in case they are relevant.

I wonder if perhaps there is a mismatch of the old Python files and the new LinuxCNC?

I would be most grateful if someone could please take a look as this is out of my depth!

Many thanks,
Dougal.

Kannst du bitte mal deine hal und ini Dateien anhängen?

Hi,
ich habe einen ältern Gleichstrom Drehzahlregler der ein Rechtecksignal zur Drehzahlsteuerung benötigt.
Signal passt auch soweit und durch manuelles ändern des Parameters pwm_frquenzy kann ich die Drehzahl ändern.

Jetzt bekomm ich es nicht hin,  diesen Parameter mit der Spindeldrehzahl zu verbinden.
So habe ich es versucht:
net spindle-speed-cmd-rpm  => ...pwmgen.pwm_frequency

​​​​​​Jedoch kommt immer ein Fehler, dass der Pin nicht bekannt ist.
​​​​​​Wie kann ich das Problem angehen? 

Danke 
Viele Grüße
Manuel

thank you very much , I will go try that ASAP

It's not that the motors stall during acceleration. The run for like 50mm normal. I try to make a video. And the weird thing is, it works with the parallel port. I can switch back and forth between the Tang and the parallel port.

use the 'show Halconfiguration' tool to find the correct pin name (something like 'qtplasmac.somePin')

is it maybe too high of an acceleration value? Even not connected to anything steppers need a slowish ramp up compared to servos.
