OK,
I am not getting it that fast.

So it seems (to me) that currently I have connected analog 10V signal from mesa to inverter from TB2 22,23,24

But I am missing Spindle forward/Reverse signals.
Those would be OUT4 and OUT5.
I can easily rewire some spare lines from cable I already have, so no problem here.

But I do not get if I am to get 24V from mesa or from other source.

And I still do not get the difference between NPN and PNP.
I do not fully understand schematics you mention.
Also I do not get how Out4A and out4B are related (I assume they are connected together through somethings (transistor or relay) I guess?

I do not know what kind of transistor there is on mesa board (if this sentence have any sense).

I have very little background in electronics. I mostly deal with mechanics.
So really need some help here as I do not want to burn any of my devices.

Ok changed made to grub, did not help the latency error problem. I still get it randomly

They need to be connected or the outputs will not work

NPN are sinking outputs so if you wire the drives PW pin to +24V
you would wire OUT4B and OUT4A to the drives COM terminal.

Note that there are schematics of NPN and PNP mode connections on
page 21 of the drive manual.
 

Thanks for the reply. All axis have been homed and the jog command from halui still isn't moving either axis.

I'm pretty sure my error is is that this:
net jog-x my_python_comp.poop-x => halui.axis.x.analog

Isn't connecting to one of these properly:
net xpos-cmd joint.0.motor-pos-cmd => stepgen.0.position-cmd
net xpos-fb stepgen.0.position-fb => joint.0.motor-pos-fb

I tried it like this:
net jog-x my_python_comp.poop-x => halui.joint.0.analog

But, no joy there either.

3. I want to implement both Kinamatics. XYZAC is available on linuxcnc forum but My type XYZAB config is not available(I googled a lot)

Have you had a look at the kinematics I suggested here?

You can download the firmware (and card manuals) from the specifications section of Mesa's web store
 

In AXIS GUI click on the blue triangle in the tool bar or select 'Run program' from the 'Machine' menu.

[edit]
This is rather dated but might be worth having a look:

Not sure what your symptoms are but axis jogging will only work after homing.

Now, I am new to firmware.

From where I may get it? 
Any guide to installation will be of great help.

Also Out4AB and Out5AB are not connected on meas board.
Is this a problem?

KM

how is PNP and NPN different? (And what they are in principle)?

KM

Spindle -       -->   GND
Spindle OUT  -->   A12
Spindle +      --> +10V

Out4A   --> S1
Out5A   --> S2

Out4B,Out5B  -->  Depends on whether you are using PNP or NPN wiring

Hi,I
have (According to note I was given by the guy who put together control for my CNC) 3 cables connected to Mesa 7i96S TB2 terminals 22, 23, 24.T

his according to meas manual are
Spindle -
Spindle OUT
Spindle +

Now I am struggling how to connect those to my inverter for the spindle.O have Googrive 20-EU 7.5kW Manual www.espacemoteurs.com/catalogue/V-MANUEL-GD20.pdf (to big to attache)

Can someone please advise.

Thank You! I was able to install everithing according to your instructions. I did not know that git has now a credential manager.

I'm working on a pendant based on a RPI Pico W. I have gotten all the way to seeing the halui analog values updating in Halshow, but I'm stalled on making it "wiggle it's big toe." I know I'm just not connecting the analog command to the axis or joint correctly. I'm very new to LinucCNC and pretty green in Python so I expect a good ribbing for my fuggly code. I plan to move my custom commands out of my main hal file once I get it working. Using version 2.9.2. This is a simulated hardware setup just for testing. Thanks in advance for any guidance. jog_server.py is running on the machine and the cnc_pendant.py is what's running on my pico.
