Beginner Building a CNC - Questions About EtherCAT with Delta A2 and In

For basic step/dir servos, a 7I76EU should do (by itself)

The 7I76EU has:

5 axis of step/dir outputs
32 digital inputs (5 to 24V)
16 digital outputs (5 to 24V)
Isolated analog 0..10V output for VFD spindle speed control
encoder input for spindle synchronized motion
2 parallel expansion ports (for additional step/dir or encoder channels)
1 serial expansion port (for more digital I/O

 

Hi, thank you for your help.

I believe I’ve found the ideal combination: using a Mesa 7i95T together with a 7i85

7i95t for 6 axis xyzca and in future spindle servo and 7i85 for toll changer

If I’m mistaken or missing something, I’d appreciate your corrections.

one more thing

Do we have input shaping in Linux CNC as Klipper in 3d printers ??

Hey,
This might be something you already know or don’t need at all, but I learned way too late that there's a plugin called Mesact that really helps when configuring the 7i95T. The standard pncconf wizard doesn't properly support the 7i95T, so Mesact can save you a lot of time and hassle.

here is some inspiration for 7i95t config:

Hello everyone 

After talking to the Mesa electronic support team ( they are awesome), I placed my order for two boards 

mesa7i95t
mesa7i85s

The arrival would take at least 60 days !!! 

Currently, I am just waiting
