I am dl'ing it, and will get a pi4, and whatever card seems to be the correct interface. Someone mentioned the 7i76E? but I've doubts it can what I am doing. To dup what I am doing with the 7i90HD and a stack of 7i42TA's, I'll need 3 encoders, two stepgens, a pwm with direction for the vfd, two in's for homes, and several outs. I don't think the 7i76D's I have can supply the 2nd and 3rd encoders for the jog dials. So what do I use? A 7i90 with an ethernet connector might work, but what it has is rs422, and likely too slow at 10 megabits. OTOH, if it can do spi at 50 megabits... Actually I am writing at 42Mb and reading at 25Mb, and thats working fairly well under stretch right now.
