Hi all,
I just upgraded my linuxcnc from 2.4 with parallel port software
stepper, to 2.5 and a mesa 5i25 with prob_rfx2 firmware. I set it up
quite easily using the pncconf .xml firmware found here

great job with this pncconf,

If one has a pendant, it can be tested with sim configs
in the xhc-hb04 branch (configs/sim/axis/xhc-hb04). There
are two configs for the two known button configurations:
xhc-hb04-layout1.ini (16 buttons)
xhc-hb04-layout2.ini (18 buttons, most common)
The pendant i got has 18 buttons
Is there a stripped down version of the TPEN4_5 firmware
for the Mesa 7I43-4 available, which does not generate the
complement PWM signals (/A, /B, /C) for each axis? I would
like to use those pins for Hall commutation inputs if I could.
Thanks,

It makes perfect sense. Its eliminating the cast part altogether and having it
perfectly clamped and positioned on a 5-axis CNC machine.
And proves it can be practical to switch

It would probably work for me. Is there a compiled .bit around somewhere,
or do I need to gear up to run the vhdl through the Xilinx tools? I'm having
difficulty finding the official repository of hm2 firmware. I've found the
source
files, but not the pre-compiled ones. The Mesa .zip file

Been having some small problems with my machine in regards to the

the way it works but now it appears it may be some kinda bug in this
