5 axis milling machine with 7i96s

Thanks for the reply PCW. I was going through pncconfs and I couldn't find anything like discovery(Im new to LinuxCNC). While going through pncconfs I was a little confused because I flashed the 7i96s_5abobd.bin file but I couldn't find this as an option in pncconf as you can see in the image below. Anyways, I tried all three of the options that were there and none of them gave me the option of adding the BoB. Thank you for your help

Discovery is an option in the board name menu:


 


Then:


 


Next setup the card name and communication details:


 


This shows the additional stepgens, encoders and PWMgens after discovery

Hi PCW, thanks so much for that but the option isn't there on my menu as you can see below. Is there some package I need to install for this?

What version of LinuxCNC do you have?

I was testing with the current release (2.9.4)

I also noticed that you need to check the "Show Advanced Option Pages"
checkbox on the pncconf start page

It worked. You were correct, I had to select the "Show Advanced Option Pages" for the discovery option to come up, and now I have all the steppers working. Thank you so much. I feel both relieved and a massive sense of achievement. Thanks for all the help and spoon-feeding me on how to do this.
