Re: [Emc-users] Using 7i76 I/O as serial Rx/Tx?
I think that is wrong, uspace is real time not a simulator.

I think I've found the answer: http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/hal/comp.html says: "If a .comp file is a driver for hardware, it may be placed in linuxcnc/src/hal/drivers and will be built unless LinuxCNC is configured as a userspace simulator."

Interesting, I thought it did.

I looked inside your 'mesa_uart' component, which is included in the source tree. But the component doesn't get compiled. I build 2.7 and 2.8 and mesa_uart isn't in the list loadeable by loadrt.

Re: [Emc-users] Using 7i76 I/O as serial Rx/Tx?
On my X200 VFD I ran into problems with common-mode noise. RS485's differential mode is highly effective at rejecting differential noise UNLESS you exceed the differential range of either transceiver's RX side, then it stops working, and there was a lot. So I got an optoisolating RS232-RS485 converter. I'm not too happy with having a second cable for the VFD, my computer is located away from the control box with all that and I'd rather have one cable. That's a minor issue of coarse. I was fortunate in that I have a PC with a true RS232 DB9 on it that can be screwed in. The USB-serial link would be more of a deal-breaker because it doesn't physically lock.

Re: [Emc-users] Using 7i76 I/O as serial Rx/Tx?
I'd asked them about using a 7i92 to drive an RS485 transceiver, which would require 4 signals. They said the functionality was planned but no specific date. I asked if it would just appear as a Com port, he said no it'd be a specific LinuxCNC driver. There's a "UART" listed on the 7i92's features. Actually since I have a hardware RS232/RS485 bridge I could still use that, if the config for it has been made. But I don't know if it has.

[Emc-users] Using 7i76 I/O as serial Rx/Tx?
I'ld like to control a Hungyang VFD via RS485 and the linuxcnc hy_vfd module. As I#ve got the machine running with the well known 5i25/7i76 combo, i'ld like to use one 7i76 input and one 7i76 output line as TTL serial and only would need an RS485 driver to get a working composition. Is it possible to compile/configure the 5i25/7i76s firmware to provide an /dev/ttySx to the linux kernel? Axel -- Attend Shape: An AT&T Tech Expo July 15-16.
