Thank you very much Peter! I succeeded making the 7i70 work, I could read inputs and it worked ok. But, when I unloaded the configuration I couldn't make it work since.
I rebooted the PC several times but it's now working anymore. The hm2_pci driver is detecting the 7i70 because I can see the pins in HAL, but when I start the thread to test communication, the GREEN LED flashes quickly for a couple of seconds and then the RED LED turns on. The first time the board worked the green led flashed at 1 hz like the manual says. I've checked the voltages and they seem ok. I'm feeding the 7i70 with 12 volts and since I'm testing I'm connecting FIELD POWER to VIN. Do you know what can cause this? El sáb., 7 mar. 2020 a las 14:00, Peter C.
