Hummm. Seems odd. I would have expected $00 to $FF as output. So I'll have to install this box, and actually hook it up to see what I get. I've found some old vfets I used as charge pump detectors, and bought enough to make a dozen of them. But the ink on the epoxy to220 bodies has gone away so they are now unidentifiable. I am able to determine the gate leg, but can't tell src from drain. Those two legs read 2+ megs to each other, either polarity. Those I have, the tip-120's are a week away. I wondered if the 3d printer state was such that I could make pcb's on it but some online checking convinced me its not quite a daily driver tech yet. So back to learning pcb-rnd and exporting gcode. I was familiar with eagle, a decade ago, but it was sold and destroyed. For vfets in plastic to220 cases, whats the pin order with the gate on the left? Anybody know which is src and which is drain?

Greetings;
How does the A/D on a 7i76D handle overvoltage? I'm considering a
long
tailed vfet pair with a 22k pullup to 42 volts. Does it just goto
full
scale at an $FF output, or will that blow something?
Full scale (inputs will take up to 100V indefinitely)
but adjacent inputs may read incorrectly if more than about
50V is suppled (due to current injection into parasitic
transistors related to the input ESD diodes of the CPU)
Excellent news Peter, I'm off to the races then.
But the starting gate won't open. I've re-read 7i76man.pdf several
times w/o the method of actually getting the digital value from one
of the 4 ports it works for. I have something tied to port-0, but I
think that may be a leftover from before I used the hy-485 module to
drive the spindle, so it looks like I should figure on using port-1.
How does reading an A/D derived digital value from port-1 get done in
the hal file?
Thank you.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.

The pins are:
hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.analogin0
hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.analogin1
hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.analogin2
hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.analogin3
You need to set the 7I76 in a mode that enables the analog inputs
(modes 1 or 2)
That sounds like it should be a setp, but it doesn't jump off of page 31
at me. Looking at the analogin0, I'm seeing a flash of noise at about 1
second intervals which I assume is the update rate. And I don't
currently have any setp's that seem to address the 7i76. Do I need to dl
a fresh copy of the 7i76man.pdf? I've had this one for 3, maybe 4 years.
The analog update rate is the servo thread rate (the aquisition rate is about 50
KHz)
If you have a analogin0 pin you are have already setup a mode that
includes analog input
(the mode setup is done in the sserial_port_0=NNN line in the driver command
line)

Excellent news Peter, I'm off to the races then. I think there's current
gain enough in a TIP-120 60 volt darlington to make my idea work. $2.95 a
10 pack from MPJA.com. With a long-tailed pair, useing the right one for
a threshold adjuster, so it turns down a pwmgen starting at around 16
psia, it ought to work just dandy.
What value R to 42 volts would be full scale, effectively limiting it to
36 and change (full scale) at the input? In that manner the ESD diodes
should disappear. Dead accurate isn't required, just decent
repeatability.
Thank you, stay well, both of you.

I had to get a 2NM motor for the front mount, the 3NM was too long to clear the bed casting. Even a 2 is overkill for that teeny screw, I think its an 8mm screw. Finding screws small enough for x drive on a lathe is difficult, the nuts are too big the clear the bed. It was real fun doing that on my 7x12, finally giving up and putting the motor on the rear, where its too heavy lifting the front vway so I had to do the kruger tapered gibs thing. That finally made a real lathe out of it. The motors I took off the 6040 are quite a bit smaller, but still big enough for the 7x12, so I may eventually put one of them on the back of the 7x12.

[Emc-users] nother Q for Peter
Greetings; How does the A/D on a 7i76D handle overvoltage? I'm considering a long tailed vfet pair with a 22k pullup to 42 volts. Does it just goto full scale at an $FF output, or will that blow something? Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
