Board selection for analog servo drives

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationTouch screen monitor on Ebay that I used:

HP E220T

those are the same "generation" of mpa drives im using , im almost ready for a mesa board so i might look into other combos i can use to run the 3 analog drivesrather than wait for the 7i97, i would like an ethernet board. glad to see someone else had success with a similar setup.

With this card you can also test those MPA drivers, the difference is that it receives pulses from STEP, Dir and converts them into +- 10 volts. github.com/simonjoh/YAPSCO-10V

PCW can the 7i97t be connected to something like a 7i70 ? i just realized how much i/o im going to have , i could put a 7i70 in my front panel to handle all my physical buttons if thats the case.

Yes, you can connect any sserial card to the 7I97/7I97T's
serial expansion port.

If you do not need all 48 inputs, and in case you might need outputs, go for Mesa 7i84, it has 32 inputs and 16 outputs.
That is what i used for my Mazak as it has 2 signal lights on the existing panel. That reminds me, pretty sure i have not wired those signal lights, need to change to LED.

Thats probably a good idea , I only need about 16 inputs , would be nice to have some outputs in that area I will have to see what stock looks like when the 7i97t are avilable , I can always upgrade down the road I suppose
