Hello guys,
I'm new to this forum and also to linuxCNC. I hope somebody here can help me out with my project. I have a rather multi functional CNC here with a broken controller. A new controller was way more expensive than a 7I95 board, so i thought i might give it a try. Since i have a lot of I/O with tool changers etc. the 7I95 board seemed a good choice to me. Sadly i didn't knew it wasn't supported out of the box with linuxCNC. My board is still on it's way but i'm already messing around with pncconf. I already have the 2.9 master branch installed.
I guess i have to start with the 7i96 and try to get most of my configurations fixed by pncconf? Or is there another way to get the 7I95 to work? The 7I96 has a different pin layout than the 7I95 so i don't know how i should arrange my setup in pncconf? Since my CNC uses a combination of belt and rack and pinion i want to set the steps/mm by the test/tune axis option. How can i get this to work with the 7I95 card? For now i just want a 3 axis stepper drive and 3 endstop configuration. If i can get this to work i guess i should be able to adapt the hal file to my needs. I hope somebody can help me out here! Thanks to you all and stay safe!
