I have no intent at this time to change anything, just to communicate with
it and begin sorting what I need to make it run.

I am intending 3 DC brush servo with generic pwm speed and direction
control. One analog spindle amp at this time. The eventuality is 2 analog
spindle , one as a lathe on my mill bed. I have another epp card as well if
more I/o is necessary, I had read the softdmc manual and was quite
interested in using that to drive the generic hbridge, but apparently it's
a histmot2 function in linuxcnc. This is my first experience with any smart
board interaction so pleas excuse my ignorance. I have read quite a bit of
the lcnc manual and the 7i90 he manual. And I seem to be blind to a set of
step by step directions.i see the 7i90 primary function as handling the
encoder, if hostmot2 allows pid adjustments that would be awesome, although
more to learn.
