Fitting an encoder on a Tormach 1100

It works 7i73 can now be seen. just one little issue.
The muxed qcount are a total of 6 for each file 5i25_t2_7i85s.bit and the new one 5i25_t2_7i85d.bit. When 4 encoders are enable with the new 7i85d.bit file it turns on the muxed encoders on P3 and one set on P2.
looking through both files that were printed out with mesaflash.
Looks like the 5i25_t2_7i85d.bit has the Qcount channel 0 on the P3 port, and Qcount channels 1 and 2 on the P2 port
the old file 5i25_t3_7i85s.bit has the Qcount on p3 set to channel 2, and the Qcount channels 0 and 1 on the P2 port.
7i85 will be plugged in on P2 port
Is that something that can be change in the hal file? Or does it need to be changed in the bit file?
is there any way through the hal file that the encoder channels to be used can be selected?
skip Qcount channel 0 and just use channels 1 and 2?
I hate to be a pain in the a$$.
Thank you.

I started with our Tormach x2 file that has encoder 0 on P3 so if you start with this requirement, the 7I85 ends up with encoder channels 2,3,4,5
(channel 1 is a alias of 0 and not usable)

if you re-fetch the zip file, the encoders have been re-numbered so 0..3 are on the 7I85

do you recall how you got halmeter to work on PP? Every time I try it just says command not found, even if i try to run it from the directory I can see it in?

Peter you made me the bit file for a Tormach that I used a 7i85 on the second port. For the spindle encoder and 3 mpg'sPCW wrote: Not sure who made that bit file, do you have the PIN_xxxx.vhd source file?
Do you have a 7I85 or 7I85S?
5i25_t2_7i85s.bit.
