image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/silly.png success... just a little one, but...
with your command mesaflash --device 7i80hd-25 --addr 10.10.10.10 --readhmid
I could the first time get something out of this box image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/w00t.png

 Made some efforts watching Tall83 and reading quite a bit. And I even managed to load the sv12 bitfile to the 7i80 image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/smile.png
Mesaflash returned serveral times "file xxx.bit could not be found" because I could not find out where to store it. Finally found out if you simply put it on the desktop then itt works- things can be so easy...

I made a config with the pcconf wizzard, could only detect the 7i80 by using "Discovery option" ...as it was not recognized by pcconf, finished and ran the machine. Worked fine except throwing positioning errors when jogging the axes, but seems ok as there is no hardware connected.
But when wanting to edit the existing config file with pcconf- wizzard I getto a point where I am asked to enter the number of ports
 
And no matter what I enter there I get this error message:
 

Is this normal, or did I do something wrong?
Thanks

Hi everyone- no, havent yet given up image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/laughing.png
But after having shot 3 Mesas, I got them repaired luckily- this took a bit longer but now I seem to be back in the race ...
At the moment I could really use some help please. I am trying to get my motors tuned but this seems to be tricky.
the motors are Fanuc A06B_522_B042_7000  with a  AB06_650_B200 drive (the Mesas  a 7i80HD-25 and a 7i33 connected if this is of importance)
Has anyone some experience withe these Fanuc components and probably got them tuned sucessfully?
I played around quite a bit but do not get it under control.
I just can get the motor either going forth and back about 1/4 turn or if it stands still it is vibrating pretty much.
I have no experience in motor-tuning. the smaller the P value gets the smaller the forth and back movement is.
Changing the I value does not do anything, but a small D value of 0.3 almost keeps it in the position but then the vibrations come.
Any suggestions appreciated
Thanks

Hi, though it seems to be rather a monologue I have still not given up image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/laughing.png.  Ok mean while the error was found- the repaired 7i33 unfortunately still was not working correctly.
Now I have the two axis working properly and smoothly and would want to be able to implement a shared handwheel for the X and Z axis.
Therefore it was recommended to do a second config file with PC-Config and copy the necessary lines to the original HAL and INI files, sonot to overwrite the original config.
And so I did. But obviously I made some mistake and get an error message when starting LinuxCNC now telling me one infrmation is missing.
Can someone help me to get this corrected please? I am not able to find the mistake....

Thank you
Sigi
