Hi,

is it possible to connect to Mesa 7i96S analog interface for spindle with LinuxCNC 2.8.3.
It throws me an error that hm2_7i96s is not found, only the hm2_7i96 .

Thank you
George

Its possible (the 2.8 analog spindle setup would be identical to 2.9)
but you will still get the card name warning until you upgrade to 2.9

So I should use hm2_7i96? Cause it does not work with hm2_7i96s ..
And what would be the pin for spindle_out, it seems it does not list me any.

You need to use hm2_7i96s (you will get a warning)
The spindle out is a PWMgen on a 7I96S

Upgrading to 2.9 would make this all simpler

Not just because of the card name issues but because
the 7I96S is supported by the graphic configuration utilities
in 2.9 (pncconf and mesact)

I am on raspberry Pi 4 and hm2_7i96s throws me an error.

When I do for example
Code:
halrun loadrt hostmot2 loadrt hm2_eth board_ip="10.10.10.10" setp hm2_7i96s.0.watchdog.timeout_ns 5000000

LinuxCNC fails with pin hm2_7i96s.0.watchdog.timeout_ns is not found

Did the hm2_eth driver load properly?
