Pathpilot V2 and 7i96 MESA Card

could you not take the hostmot driver from 2.8/9 and backport to 2.8-pre1.

That should work though you would lose compatibility with Tormach Ethernet controllers

I assume the 7i76e will work ok with pathpilot? As i'm building a lathe, IO requirements aren't great hence the thought of using a 7i96 to save a nit of money

If you're feeling brave....... i've complied a version of 2.8.0-pre1 on a virtual machine. I've just copied the HM2 files from the rtlib folder and attached them below.

One thing to keep in mind is that PP uses routines and outside functions that are not in LinuxCNC. Things such as redis PP relies on a lot to transfer data back and forth between teh GUI and teh Gcode side.

My mission is to stay inside of teh PP functions . That way I get updates when PP updates and new features when PP updates and Tormach does all teh hard work.

I'm about to retrofit a lathe and I plan to use PathPilot V2. For this i was hoping to use a 7i92 + 7i76 but the 7i92 is out of stock both at eusurplus and mesa store..

Has any one succeded to run PathPilot 2 with 7i80db + 7i76?
I have a 7i80db in my mill so it is tempting to use ut in the lathe as well.
