No, that usually indicates a power supply or connection problem Also possibly the thread rate is too fast, the D2700 is not a very good hm2_eth host and like the D525 is marginal even with RTAI and a 1 KHz servo thread. you can see this by plotting the read times on a D2700 or D525 and moving the mouse dont forget the ethtool command if you have a intel MAC >> >>>> >>>> If you look in the dmesg you will see a small and opaque section >>>> which >>>> describes what software modes each attached sserial device supports, >>>> and a very cryptic description of each mode. >>>> >>>> A more detailed description appears in the manual for each device. >>>> Basically by changing the mode you can change the HAL pins and >>>> sometimes the features of the cards, for example enabling analogue >>>> inputs or encoder counters on certain pins. >>> >>> Nothing at all in dmesg from 7i80 on Wheezy.
