7i76e Configuration Tool

I verified the dependencies needed for a fresh install and updated the install instructions. Thanks for that feedback.

Ha, well, uh, as of yesterday I decided to use the 7i96 instead. I will be exploring your 7i96 tool.

John,


Just downloaded the 7i76e Config Tool, was able to get it up and going. Looks really nice!

But when I drop in the IP Address and attempt to read I get this....

tc225@TC225:~$ 7i76e

tc225@TC225:~$

Any Thoughts?

My MANIFEST.in file was missing an include, it has been fixed. Use the upgrade line from the docs to upgrade the install.

John,

Ran the upgrade from the docs. it completed and said it installed. Re opened added the IP and I believe same results:

tc225@TC225:~$ 7i76e

I can see it in .local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/m7i76e on my test machine, but it needs to be in .local/bin. I'll have to work on the setup again and figure that out. I need to switch that hard drive to a different PC with dual NIC's so I can test it out with a card attached. That's what happens sometimes when you develop software and stuff is already there from another project.

JT

No worries,

will report back once the changes are made!

Ok, I got the magic concoction needed to copy the mesaflash files to .local/bin and just tested it on a fresh install. Now I need to install LinuxCNC on that PC and test some other stuff.

So use the upgrade line again and it should work for you... I think.

JT

John. Missed your update here. Just tried the update, still running into the same issue for some reason.

Opps I found that bug and squashed it I think. Update again and try.
