Do you get a blinking green light on the 7I84?

Were you able to replace the resolvers with encoders?

Yes.

Are they part of the motors?

No they were/are mounted on the screw shaft, not on the motors.

For resolvers, you should really try to find as much info as possible, preferably full spec sheet, and preferably push as much as humanly possible to use them, Mesa has resolver cards.

I have just now added another wire going to 7i84 field power so now A and B has power. I added the line you suggested having both serial 0 and sserial 1 called out. I still am currently getting the same error that the pins on 7i84 don't exist.

Second part of that post ONLY!

The red light is on yes, I don't have power to a and b just one. I was thinking the jumper position tied the 2 together but I could be wrong

After running sudo apt-get install -f I've got this:

dpkg: error processing package linux-image-rt-amd64 (--configure):

Then went with

sudo apt-get check
apt-cache depends

I got this:

what should I do next? I don't understand this.

Some versions of LinuxCNC require the sserial_port_n stanza or the port is not enabled  (for ports 1,2,3)

Is the 7I84 red LED illuminated?

Do you have field power supplied to both A and B 7I84 field power sections?
 

I added port 1 and it did t change anything, I also tried getting rid of the port call-out as I read in another forum post that if you don't specify then all ports are available. Neither changed the results

Because P1 pins are all assigned  to sserial_port_1, I would not expect
them to be enabled unless sserial_port_1 is enabled in the hal file,

something like:

loadrt hm2_eth board_ip="10.10.10.10" config="num_encoders=6 sserial_port_0=000 sserial_port_1=00000000"

It seems as if the internal port p1 is not showing up in my pins... I'm not sure why that is
