OK I was bale to install mesa flash but how does this tool work is it a program for firmware files you want to install to board? If so what are some steps I need to do to open up other encoder ports?
Do I need to be connected to mesa card when running the mesa flash? I already installed it when I was connected to internet. Now I need to disco lan cable and switch to the card.
A bunch of internet searching but I got it needed to add the address of the board to the command
cd mesaflash
mesaflash --device 7i96 --addr 10.10.10.10 -- write 7i96pl.bit
it flashed the .bit
then it asked to power cycle board
mesaflash --device 7i96 --addr 10.10.10.10 -- reload
it reloaded it
and thats it?
Do I need to install any more files or fixes?
no no more files
but you shoudt readout the pins to a txt file and see what you got
bevore moving on
mesaflash --device 7i96 --addr 10.10.10.10 --readhmid > mypins.txt
oh ok got it let me do that. It created a file and I can see the pins thanks for that
I am new to the mesa cards so I am trying to see where I am going to put my signal wires for limit switches and probe for float switch and a ohmnic sense. And also the arc ok and stuff like that for plasma. I also saw that the gui axis looks different its more for a lathe setup with mist and coolant button is this normal? I want to soon do the plasmac version of 2.9 I have the base 2.9 axis.
