Linuxcnc 2.9.4 and Mesa 7i97T

That typically means a connection issue

Either the link was not up when LinuxCNC started, the IP address was wrong or similar

 

In a terminal, what does
ip a
return?

It seems that the connection is ok
mesact finds and recognizes board 
ip a return
BROADCAST, MULTICAST, UP, LOWER_UP at 10.10.10.10

ip a:

 

OK 
I have given up on making it work after messing up several versions of my hals and inis
Instead i now want to make new ones by using mesaCT like i did from the beginning (the way that so far let me get the most successfull result)

I get an "OK" when trying to test the configuration
But when building the configuration i get this message from meseCT:

File "../../usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/libmesact/buildconfig.py", line 61, in build
    parent.updateini.update(parent, iniFile)
  File "../../usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/libmesact/updateini.py", line 135, in update
    self.update_key(item[0], item[1], item[2])
  File "../../usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/libmesact/updateini.py", line 765, in update_key
    start = self.sections[f'[{section}]'][0]
            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

KeyError
'[MESA]'

First download the deb and reinstall
to be sure you have the latest build date

Then please file an issue at
github.com/jethornton/mesact/issues

 

Finally I made a successfull connection of the mesa 7i97t.
When I turn the motor still standing on the table i can see the X Dro increase in numbers to what could be expected in relation to the counts/rev.
Now two things are still beyond my understanding.
1. When I try to jog the axis the DRO only moves 0,18mm when pressing and releasing the < or > key. Same result if I use arrows in AXIS. Jog mode is set to continuous. 
2. When I release Estop and enable the drive F1 & F2 the motor starts rotating at a speed which looks like something that could be1v. 
Any explanations?
