So, what's an easy way to add IO to my 7i96s?

ATC, probe, laser tool setter etc are gonna need a dozen or so more IO than I have.

I can piggyback the 7i77, but I kinda want to leave that for use on the larger machine. I did have a 7i84(?) but it seems to have gotten lost or packed away when I moved from the shop and I can't find it.

Is there an alternate simple cheap option?

Thankyou so far for the help PCW
but unfortunetly no luck with the coding side of things

managed to eventually sucessfully flash the mesa board with the 7i96s_2pwmd.bin after a few complications of mesaflash not being able to detect my board.

but afterwards all seemed to operate my existing cnc with no issues,

however as soon as i tried to update any of the hal or ini for the laser, linuxcnc failed to boot giving me the debug prompt.

is there any way to determine from the debug prompt message it provides what it doesnt like??

have provided my current working hal and ini, does not have any of the new additonal code that id need to run laser off spindle

Hi Aciera,
Thank you for reply.

Update......
Now I delete  " ; "    and try  again.
result is  no error about   " ; "
but error   "syntax error in VERSION script"

Thank you,
