Re: [Emc-users] 5i25 detected, but not the 7i77 yet
Hey Peter, Hey List, I wrote my standalone pyvcp panel which runs with halrun only for my lab setup and everything looks good at this moment. I ordered the 5i25 and the 7i77 together some weeks back. Not having the correct firmware does not matter, since I now know how to program it anyway. So a very big thanks to Michael Geszkiewicz for writing the linux flash program :) BR Max.

[Emc-users] 5i25 detected, but not the 7i77 yet
Hello, I have now spend the last few hours trying to create a first lab setup with the mesanet 5i25 and the 7i77, but the 7i77 is not recognized at all. In general I have been setting up and running a few machines with the 7i43 cards since 2008 now-so I am not a total noob. The 5i25 is installed in a pci slot. The 7i77 is connected to the 5i25 with a ribbon cable that is connected to the P3 on the 5i25. W2 is down,i.e. the 5i25 does not supply +5V to the 7i77. The ribbon cable is 45cm long. Pin1 on the 5i25's p3 db25 is on pin1 on the 7i77. The 7i77 has +5V and GND on TB1 and +12V on TB2 (12V on pin1 and GND on pin 8.) W1 is on the left side, i.e. VIN gets power from VFIELD. W5 is on the right side, i.e. the 7i77 uses power from TB1. Measured voltages are +4,98V on TB1 and +12,02V on TB2. The computer runs ubuntu 10.04 32 bits from linuxcnc installation cd. Linuxcnc is at version 2.5 from the repository. The 5i25 is installed in a pci slot and recognized when I loadrt hm2_pci without any num_encoders in the config parameter. But from various post I see that the 7i77 should be recognized when hm2_pci is loaded, which it is not in my case. LEDs CR1, CR7, R61 and CR3 are lid up on the 7i77. Can somebody perhaps point me in the right direction ?

If you turn on debug logging then the driver will print the firmware version and config into dmesg. You can turn on debug logging with: echo 5 /proc/rtapi/debug But only when rtai is running, so it needs to be done from a different terminal window to halcmd.

Hello Andy, Hello Peter, thanks for your fast replies. I will try the firmware tool in the support software 5i25.zip that you suggested + the loadrt line without the pwmgens on Monday. Thanks BR Max.
