Thanks Peter,
Can you shed any light on whether the Mesa Modbus page (linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/drivers/mesa_modbus.html) relates to hm2_modbus?

My antique Dell Optiplex does not boot from CDROM anymore.  LinuxCNC 2.9.4, which has worked beautifully for many months, is now hanging the PC.  I attempted to use Package Manager to reinstall it.  It fails.  I tried to uninstall it.  It fails, so I guess that I need to reinstall from a USB drive, which is how I installed the now Zombie version.  I do not remember how I burned the ISO to USB drive from Windows.  ImgBurn only burns to CDROM drives.  Rufus does not give me a way to select a USB drive.  Help!

I don't have access to it today but I have an example GS10 VFD configuration for hm2_modbus
that I can post tomorrow.

It's been running on a test config for several months 24/7 without any issues.
 

Hi all,
I'm working on a machine with 7i96s for brains and a 7i75 for IO. I'm adding a fuling BD612 VFD so i can use the high rpms that the spindle is capable of, and I'd like to do this via modbus.

I'm aware of the hm2_modbus and mesambccc manpages as well as the docs page Mesa Modbus, but... I can't tell if they are referring to the same thing. It seems clear that vfd_modbus and mb2hal are different ways to do this.
I'd be grateful if someone could confirm that these refer to the same thing or different things...

It's clear that hm2_modbus and mesambccc are parts of the same system - does anyone have an example file(s) for setting these up? I'm happy to spend hours with the manpages and guide but get on far better reading and tweaking existing code, than trying to write it myself from scratch.

I've flashed the 7i96s_pktv3.bin bitfile successfully, not sure of next steps. 

Many thanks,
Andy
