Re: [Emc-users] Quick question on connecting up Mesa cards

hey everyone just another update here the latest is I got a brand new mesa 7i77 out of the box and tried it and that didn't work either when connected to the 5i25 that I have been using for testing So I decided to swap the 5i25 out and use 6i25. I flashed the 6i25 with the correct firmware

Re: [Emc-users] Quick question on connecting up Mesa cards

ok just did some more testing I have two 7i76 cards connected up now and everything works (using second connector on 5i25 for extra 7i76) I am wondering if I have broken the 7i77 I have which I ran 5v backwards through. is this possible to do and if it is would I expect a communication error

Re: [Emc-users] Quick question on connecting up Mesa cards

I have two plugs connected from 5i25 The cable to the 7i77 is a known good cable that was working last week. I think I might have my cables crossed. Does it matter which port on 5i25 I connect to which Mesa card? On Sat, Nov 21, 2020, 7:56 PM Gene Heskett wrote: > On Saturday 21 November
