Greetings PCW and all; I find I need a way to do a powerdown reset on the interface box of one of my machines. And it needs to be separate from linuxcnc. That, or some way to tickle the 7i76D to reset it before I start LinuxCNC the second time because hal can't find spinout.
I am finding that little power bumps, not enough to do a full powerdown reset, are killing the 5i25 to 7i76's serial com. Short of rigging a 3rd hand switch on the shelf to toggle the interface power, or getting out a stepladder to access the one on the rear of the shelf, once the 7i76 has been bumped, the seriel port is dead until a full, several seconds dark powerdown, there seems to be no other recovery method that works. Ideas anyone??? Or do I go get a switch plus socket and position it where I can operate it from the front of the machine? Thanks all.
