Anilam 3000m to Linuxcnc questions.

I have my 7i97 now. I still am having trouble figuring out my first steps. I have ,y 5v hooked up to the board and ethernet ran from it to the computer but I cant exactly figure out my next move. i read through manual and tried to do some things like mesaflash to set up connection but I cant seem to get it right. I hate being so new to all this. Like the idea of having to type things into the terminal to get somewhere and all the codes is just so foreign to me. Its frustrating but thats why I am here writing this to keep trying to chip away at it. 

Hey John, so Ive been moving forward on this 7i97 and Ijust got done reading and tryng to figure out tb3 on the 7i97. Ill attach a pictuer of what I have going. Someone else on the forum was helping to guide me but I seen you said "Replied by  BigJohnT  on topic  Anilam 3000m to Linuxcnc questions. Anilam 3000m to Linuxcnc questions. Category:  Milling Machines I'm not sure how different the 3000M is from the 1100M but I basically tossed out everything but the drives and power supply and use a 5i25 and 7i77 (7i92's were not available then). IIRC the drives had to have the enable pin grounded to enable them, so I use a relay for that.

JT  What do you mean when you say IIRC drives? Im not sure I did what your describing

I have the same setup john and am at this exact point. Could you go into a little more detail when you say IIRC the drives and what you had to do please?

IIRC is short for "If I recall correctly".
