Does pncconf know how to make closed loop stepgen + encoder feedback configurations? Yes - if you pick an x axis stepper and x axis encoder (but not an x axis analog) then pncconf will do a closed loop stepper config. I haven't check this in a long time so it might need some tweaks. Firmware XMLs must be put in /lib/firmware/hm2/BOARDNAME for pncconf to notice them. By 2.8 pncconf will read the info from a live system YAAY!

Does pncconf know how to make closed loop stepgen + encoder feedback configurations? I was able to set up the rough framework for my 5i25/7i85S config using PNCconfig about a year and a half ago. It was long enough ago I don't remember what steps I had to take to do it, but it couldn't have been to painful or I think I'd remember having trouble. -- BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VA_SF ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users

Subject: [Emc-users] Pncconf with 6i25 and 7i85s in 2.7-pre6
I am configuring a new machine build, a lathe using Mesa 6I25-7I85s-7I84
cards. I upgraded my (previously unconfigured) installation of 2.6.7 to
2.7-pre6, since it seems to be close to release. I flashed the 6i25 card
with the 5i25_7i85sx2.bit file. When I run pncconf I see a 5i25 Internal
Data card but no 7i85s or 7i84 under firmware. Are there files I am
supposed to be downloading before running pncconf or should they be in there
already? Or am I doing something else wrong?
Not sure if pncconf is a suitable tool for anything but very standard
configurations. You would at minimum need a 7i85sx2.xml file but
pncconf doesnt know what to do with mixed stepgens and encoders
Thanks,
-Tom
Pncconf has no problems that I know of with steppers and encoders.
Where could I find the 7i85x2.xml file?
I will see if I need to add anything.
Chris M
The 7I85s is a 4 axis stepgen + encoder interface. Does pncconf know how to
make closed loop stepgen + encoder feedback configurations?

Re: [Emc-users] Pncconf with 6i25 and 7i85s in 2.7-pre6
I downloaded the 6i25 software from the "support software" link on the mesanet.com page for that board. There is a 7I85sx2.xml file there (as well as .pin, and .bit). Where do I put the xml file?
