The two 7i92H's I ordered are still stuck in the mail because the delivery person decided to leave a note for me to pick them up and pay taxes at a post office, instead of ringing the doorbell and paying her right there. One is a spare for me to play with off the machine and the other for a friend who is a MACH user but hates Windows so other than an old NT machine for MACH3 and a laptop specifically for Fusion360 he's a Linux fan.
It's been so long since I set mine up for the DC and AC servos with high step rates that I've forgotten what to do. When the boards arrive he's coming over here to see a demo and so I freed up some partition space on an older I686 version of LinuxCNC. This laptop is older and annoying because tapping on the touch pad doesn't do anything. Have to use the buttons. Annoying. Think I'll plug in a mouse... john@Flipper-III:~$ uname -a Linux Flipper-III 3.4-9-rtai-686-pae #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 3.4.55-4linuxcnc i686 GNU/Linux Anyway, only has WiFi and Hardwired Ethernet. I configured the system to use WiFi for internet and I assume when I plug in the MESA something good will happen. Meanwhile. Can I use PNCconfig or do I have to create the HAL and INI files myself? IIRC, the 7i92H wasn't in the list of PNCconf devices and I had to program the unit with 7i92_C11Gx2D.pin to match the Break Out Board I was using. I want to create a step by step guide for him. He'll be using the Pi4 LinuxCNC version on an 8GB Pi4. I have Pi4 here too. But for that I just copied over my PC based HAL and INI files and used them without any issues on my mill.
