Retrofit of Precix 5x10 CNC

I am not sure that they are mentioned in the docs, but they exist in the code:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/2.7/sr...tmot2/encoder.c#L509
So you need to set the "error-enable" bit in the HAL, and then you can monitor the outputs.

After changing out the cables, CNC has not had any issues. So must have been encoder cables that I replaced. Used CNC a lot since then and been acting perfect [knock on wood].
Thanks for everyone's help as always.

I have a Precix to retrofit for a customer. Did you end up swapping out motors and/or drives? Or did everything work ok with the 7i77?

No, I kept using the same motors. Same motors/drivers/power supply.
I'd be glad to help however I can, if you have any specific questions ask away! Otherwise I will record a quick video of how my machine is set up, maybe can help or anyone else with a retrofit.
Used it today worked fine.
If you do use same motors, maybe we can compare notes on servo tuning

It is a 2100 Series CNC Router DC3BR. 3 phase motor drives and 3 phase spindle inverter. thats all I know for now. The customer hasn't got back to me with more details. Its a Oct 2000 manufacture date. Delta VFD, Perske servo's.
thats all I got now. It kinda looks like your control box.
