correct, thank you.

I wanted a closed loop belt for a lot of reasons. Its next to impossible to get on a closed loop belt without some sort of tensioning device.

I am with you on avoiding complexity, this is the third rev of this cutting head for that exact reason.

Hi @PCW

currently the machine (old Plasma) uses analog servo motors, that's why I added the 7i77. I need 10v/-10v for the Axis.
i am not entirely sure if I add encoders to the board in the future. at the moment they are hooked up to the servo drives.

my thoughts where, If at some point something breaks, and I add a more modern motor to some axis I can handle this with the 7i95T in the future.... that's why its kind of redundant(analog and step/dir).
also I don't know if everything on this machine is really working. its kind of "dead in the corner" for years, and we try to give it a second live.

is it possible to have all ports of all cards at the same time present?
or do I have to choose between?

Where did you read that? 

 

I meant 2.10, not the pi  
what's wrong about the pi's?
for me right now the pi is just handy, because I have it here. maybe I change it to a miniPC at some point... I am not sure... but first I need to get a working cards/hal/ini

aha ok im using the lathe version

They are enabled when installed and fully functioning.

That is a single belt in that drawing, it just shows where it would be when tightened completely.
And he already mentioned he is using a single belt...

Hi all,
I received this board and wanted to insert the remora firmware via segger jtag v8, but I can't find a guide for my model. Where can I find it?
Thanks
 
 
 
 
 

Why?

Wouldn't a regular single belt directly from pulley to pulley suffice?

I think the tensioner will mess with stuff b/c the load is bi-directional.

Are the belts on top of one-another?

That must cause wierd stuff to happen b/c the belts on the outside will move faster.

One loop of a single belt, going pulley -> tensioner -> pulley -> tensioner should work better.

Avoid unnecessary complexity.

Simplicity is beatiful.

You _do_ need specific firmware for the 7I80DB with 7I76+7I85 daughtercards
If you have this, any serial card is supported.

In case you do not have 7I80DB 7I76_7I85 firmware, here it is:

 
 

No, sorry i should've explain it better. Its just one belt.

The reason there are two loops; i only had a few closed loop belt size (length) options off the shelf from amazon, i needed to make sure the tensioner i was designing could make putting one of those belts on easier. So you'll see a one 'loop' goes around the interior most path and the opposite it true for the outer path.

Its one belt around three components, motor, driveshaft, tensioner. i attached a smaller slice, hopefully my rambles make sense. 

Ok if the card doesn't need any specific firmware, then it's fine, I already have the bit file for the other cards. Is there some specific settings i should add to the hal/ini files for it to work?

Good afternoon I'm using Venoen P12b industrial PC that has GPIO pins in it and the BIOS provides settings to configure the state of these GPIOs at boot time, but I need to control them dynamically from Linuxf for use with LinuxCNC instead of an I/O module i wanted to to know if that was possible or not. 

Attached HAL Files

SSH and samba are security risks, hence usually not included in major distros.
They should be installed only by whoever actually needs them, and some security info should be digested before venturing into it.
