PNCConf Config (Think Im missing something)

I recommend you create a table similar to this and always update it before you add a wire This is for my 7i76e including the MPG input for my pendant



So if I am looking for a hardware connection on the 7i76e, I use the left hand column but If I'm looking in halshow, I'll use the second column.

If you search for spaceship plasma you should find my build and on about page 4 there is a complete breakdown on how to wire in a MPG and an axis selection using a binary coded switch. Just note you need to change the mode in your hal.

It is best to just get a basic moving config with pncconf and not even worry about velocities and acceleration as its much quicker to edit the settings by hand in a text editor. When I installed mine, I just used another example and did everything by hand

gewting one Axis or joint moving and then adding by hand is in most cases the best you go
or as it is a simple mashine like plasma use redsy made configs

So after some playing around and alot of help from the users here I was able to get stuff moving!

Now I am on to getting my 7i85 board working with my 7i76e so I can add my encoders. I have been able to flash the 7i76 7i85 firmware. But I'm kind of confused where to go from here. I'm having trouble pulling up my current config via mesaflash as well.

I found a YouTube video but it's in German and even with the translate CC it's hard to follow.

Any help is appreciated!

Any thoughts, really just trying to understand how to get the two working together since the option isnt in PNC config

Hi,

This video is very nice, exact your setup.
I followed the german sprache in the video, But without sprache you can do it !!

In the comment's there is a link for translate : www.talla83.de/subtitle.png

Well when you plug the 7i85 board in do you see the pins in HAL?
Actually if I understand Peter correctly, even if you don't plug the 5i85 in you should see the pins.

So you have a config built with pncconf that moves motors.
Next would be to add HAL code to read the encoders.
I'm not sure what you're building so can't really suggest much more.
