Yes, I'm using the common 5-axis BOBs from china, one on each port (P1 and P2).
That said, I don’t actually need all 10 StepGen channels. My machine only uses 4 axes, so I’m hoping to free up many of the StepGen-related I/O pins and use them as general-purpose I/Os instead.

Also, since the 7i92 headers are mirrored (P1 and P2), both BOBs give access to the same type of GPIO pins. I’m hoping to take advantage of that symmetry and assign more pins for inputs (e.g., limit switches, ArcOK, ohmic probe, thc UP /down etc.), and just a few for outputs (torch on/off, float switch reset, laser etc.).

Ideally, I'd like a bitfile that allows:

At least 10 inputs and 5 outputs for general machine control

Fewer StepGen channels (maybe 4 or 5 max)

If a bitfile like that exists — or if modifying an existing one is straightforward — I’d really appreciate the guidance.

Thanks again for your help!

Best regards,

PncConf works in Live!!!!! it was the language !!!!!!!!!! I am very happy!!!! thank you!!!!!!!!

I continue now with the VFD!!!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all for the responses. The VFD GA500 is already installed in the machine and I don’t have it here. I have an LS600 on my work desk which I am using for the tests. I will try to send you the information you are requesting as soon as possible.

PCW !. Thank you for coming back! From the heart!

I advance the board that I am using in the TB4 connector, I believe, as PCW explains, that I am not supplying the 10vcc. I am going to check the LS600.
