LinuxCNC-RIO - RealtimeIO for LinuxCNC based on FPGA (ICE40 / ECP5)

Awesome, those new tabs look great, the invert button on the scale is a nice touch.

I'll second that.

Top work

Hi,

Great job on this project, I am really impressed with all the tools and features that keep getting added. 

I made a custom board based on the TangBob and I wanted to add it to the setup tool. 
Do you have a tool for building the board.json or have you been making them by hand?

 

Thanks !

not really, in 'riocore/files/pin*.py' are some helper scripts for me (dev-branch),
but yes, most i do by hand.

@all
---- WARNING --- parts of the dev-branch is not usable at this time,
i do some bigger changes for the joint/axis configuration

@Dave3891, but you can send me the files (pinouts + board-image),
than i can create one for you

A small request to everyone who uses Rio.

I hate telemetry in software, I don't want it in other software and I don't build it into mine either!

The downside, however, is that I never know if the stuff is any use at all.

I'm always happy when someone writes here that they've built a custom board, or when I happen to see pictures or videos online of boards I don't know yet.

An open source programmer usually only sees the problems and errors that users have, but very rarely reports of success.

So I would be very happy if you could give me a little feedback.

And even those who don't use it can say what they think is missing or what is stopping them from trying it out.

Best regards, Olli
