My friend dropped off my new 7i92H card this evening. I've downloaded the zip file and manual.
And I'm lost. I thought I understood that there was a LinuxCNC support file that I could install or link to via the HAL to make things work. But I guess not. Misunderstood that. I thought that it was possible to just configure the 7i92H as two parallel port cards. I've tried the pncconf program and although the 7i92 card is listed it appears to want other MESA cards none of which are simple BOBs. I really just want the two ports to appear as parallel ports as stated in the manual. That means on the next screen I should ideally have screens that are more like the PCI parallel ports with the first 9 pins configurable for step/dir, pin 10 for ESTOP in etc. But on the two PORTx screens the pin numbers don't match the DB-25 pins. I've attached my HAL file which is pretty simple at this point since I've not even set up limit switches yet. Just ESTOP, Machine Enabled and ChargePump and 4 axis steppers. Eventually there will be PWM and direction for the spindle. Shared Limit/Home and Limit switches. But for now I just want to be able to press the jog buttons and see step/dir out on an axis along of course with ESTOP and ENABLE support. I'm probably going to have to create the HAL from scratch. Or more like from an almost but not quite prototype. Can anyone help? Thanks John
