Hi
Im new to linux cnc and linux in general. coding and programming is not my strengths so im looking for some help with my retrofit.
I have a maho mh800w which has a philips 523 controller. This has died multiple times and i have been lucky enough to repair it until now as the cpu board or graphics board has gone.
Time for a retrofit as im sick of drip feeding programs.
RotarySMP has been kind enough to forward on all his information which has been great to cross reference philips 432/532 wiring diagrams.
Hardware so far
hp elitedesk 800 g2
Elo touch screen
Heidenhain te425b panel
3 heidenhain 602d's
Mesa 7i97t, 7i84, 7i73, ordered 7i74+7i73
Warning i will probably be asking simple questions but i dont know what i dont know.
1st problem
I cant get a basic configuration to open. this is a basic config that tommy light shared in some thread.
Ive tried 10.10.10.10 and 192.168.1.121 with 7i97t and im lost.
ive done the mesa ethernet card manual as ive an intel Ethernet chip.
