What does

report?

Hello,

I am trying to get a 7i80db-25 working with a 7i77 and a 7i76. I have installed a bitfile that should make this possible. When I start up linuxcnc I am not able to find the 7i77 and 7i76 board in the Hal conf. I was expecting something like hm2_7i80.0.7i77.input.

Am I doing something wrong or is it normal to just have a gpio list. If so how do I know what is connected to what.

Can you edit them?

Music was nice!

I think I already found most of what I was looking for, as I just found:
github.com/kcjengr/probe_basic/blob/main...toolchange_index.hal :-))

Still have to find out the best approach to map the stepper drive signal in velocity mode to
net car-ccw motion.digital-out-03
net car-cw motion.digital-out-04
 

Hi, i've build a gantry piggy back toolchanger for my router, driven by a stepper (with gear reduction) and a geneva wheel, and am looking for some quick pointers.

At this point I've got it to rotate, creating an extra axis in HAL / INI, nothing else.

I was planning to use the stepper 'velocity mode' to drive the stepper.
I envision I need to place two proximity sensors:

1. Prox sensor for homing pin
2. Prox sensor to detect an index step, for counting logic of the pockets
   
   How does the base Probe Basic configuration handle pocket homing (locating pocket nr 1), counting pockets and the drive signals to the motor?
