I used this kind of test-panel with a 5i20 and the old driver and hostmot-4 firmware http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?M5i20_Halvcp_Test_Panel You would need to adapt this to use the newer hostmot2/hm2 driver/firmware. With the old driver/firmware the inputs/outputs were pretty much fixed, and so a fixed test-panel made sense. Now with the hm2 driver/firmware everything is very configurable, and one would need a configurable test-panel that is tailored to the firmware used. This would make for a nice contribution to linuxcnc, if someone wants a coding-challenge ! :) I imagine one could write a python-script that takes the same configuration string as the driver (specifying number of pwm/stepgens, encoders, IO etc) and creates the required HAL + XML files for a custom test-panel.
