Set GPIOś via Halshow was created by DerKlotz
Hello,
As a German beginner, I am currently trying to get my Mesa7i76e up and running.
I have connected three relays to pins 17, 18, and 19 and would like to control them via Halshow. When I connect a relay directly to 24V, it activates.
In Halshow, I would say that I have set the correct pins via Set. However, no output is switched. I can switch the yellow indicator in Halshow on and off.
I hope you can help. Thank you.

That  should work, if LinuxCNC is running and there have been no watchdog or other faults.

In the editor i just did a mesaflash --device 7i76e --addr 10.10.10.10 --readhmid... there is just TB2/TB3, P1 and P2 visible. No TB4, 5 and 6. Somewhere there the mistake? What to do?

That's correct, mesaflash does not show sserial devices unless you add the --sserial command line option

--sserial does not work with --readhmid

It also does not list pins, if you want that you need to run LinuxCNC

I just set pin 17 to flood and pin 18 to mist. Then the relays work...
So how can i set the pins to Digital out and control then via Linuxcnc. Can i create new buttons in Linuxcnc?

 Can i create new buttons in Linuxcnc?

Yes, but there are many ways to do it and the best choice will depend on the GUI you are using and your requirements. 

Most of the GUIs support VCPs: 
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/ and see "Virtual Control Panels"
Some GUIs allow customisation inside the main window too.
