Never having dealt with the 7i76 before, I wasn't aware that pre-configured gpio was available as the "Field i/o", so I wasn't counting them. Peter just showed me the error in my thinking, so that problem has gone away, solved by suitable edits in my hal file, or simply making a new named file and switch to it in the ini. That way I'm not pouring 30 gallon drums of K2 on the bridges I've crossed and tossing a match back over my shoulder. > > The 7i76 has 32 inputs and 16 outputs, and then (if you needed them) > you could use the 17 GPIO lines on the second header of the 5i25.
It has a std bob on p2, which limits it to 5 inputs. > So that's 49 inputs if you really needed them, and potentially 416 if > you filled the second header with a 7i44 and 8 x 48 input cards. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
