hey guys having trouble setting up 7i84 now.
so I have a set up with a 6i25 and 7i77, 7i76 connected I am trying to connect up the 7i84 to the tb6 connector on the 7i77. I have the bit file 5i25_7i77_7i76.bit loaded into card just getting stuck now. 7i84 doesn't load up. jumpers are both left hand side which is default. I am looking for the 7i84 in the hal configuration and can't find it there is a sserial drop down menu but it doesn't show the 7i84 I am pretty sure I have it connected up. before I go back and check my wiring I just better ask is there anything software related that could be messing me up? I have 24v powering the 7i84. and the CR6 led (field IO error led) is showing red. based on my research this could be because the watchdog is not petting it or could be a deeper problem. anyway any ideas sing out I am stuck lol. the first time I do anything on cnc it takes ages lol the second time it all takes 10 mins regards Andrew On Sun, Nov 22, 2020 at 12:10 AM andy pugh <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sat, 21 Nov 2020 at 10:35, andrew beck <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > Now I want to update the firmware on the 5i25 so I can use it also > > I don't know if you worked it out, but the 5i25_7i76_7i77 (etc) > firmwares _do_ need the cards to be on the designated headers. > That is why you can find a 5i25_7i76_7i77.bit and a 5i25_7i77_7i76.bit > file in the firmware pack. > ( http://www.mesanet.com/software/parallel/5i25.zip ) > > > and want to try out the 7i84 I have and see if the smart serial works ok > > any thoughts guys? whats the easiest way > > Simplest is to chop one end off of a Cat5 cable, strip back the cores > and wire into the Smart Serial port on the 7i76. > (I am pretty sure that the 7i76 manual says which terminal block it > is, and which wire goes where) > > -- > atp > "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is > designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and > lunatics." > — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 > > > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users > _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
