I hate the 7i97T

Just a short rant how hard it is to setup this freaking card. Pnconfig wizard doesn´t work for it. You have to go the full manual way and it´s already a pain to get Mesa CT running and working. Some python needs to be installed, but thats a chapter by itself already. If you went through all the steps to finally get it recognized by Mesa CT and try to run that config with linuxcnc it doesn´t even find the card and exits with an error that the network isn´t reachable. I hate it so much i´ll throw it in the trash and go back to my 5i25 + 7i77. I´ll get a 5i26 for compability.

Here is a sample 7I97/7I97T hal/ini configuration:

 

There's also an experimental pncconf version that supports the 7I97 you might try:

Good! I need it too, I just ordered one from Europe to replace my DC servos with Sanyo RS2 ac

I tried pncconf once and only wasted time... But always when I found config similar to my needs I can change those as I want.

In Linux you can do anything in terminal. You must know some magic words, but always you can find solution.
In Windows you use mouse and click on icons. You can nothing when no icons for click...
BTW. Read carefully error messages. Not always, but mostly they gives solution.

I added the 7i97t code to pncconf in master now.
