I was wondering just now how many pins the Hostmot2 driver can support. Each FPGA card can handle 3072 smart-serial pins, and it is possible to connect several PCI cards and several Ethernet cards.
Looking through the headers I found: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master/src/hal/drivers/mesa-hostmot2/hostmot2.h#L74 Is that 1000 pin _types_ or 1000 pins in total? (Though I suspect that smart-serial pins are not included in that number) Does hostmot2 impose a limit on the number of cards that can be connected? -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
