Label on the cable itself says it is CAT.5E, I cut that piece off the roll and attached rj-45 connector on one end. I paid extra attention to line the wires by colors as per standard (the same as mentioned in 7i44 manual). Yesterday I checked all the wire leads between rj-45 connector and my converter with multimeter - all the leads are connected properly. I tested it by putting one tester pin on rj-45 pins and then attached the other pin to all the pins (one at a time) on converter to check, if there are any short circuits or misconnections. It was all right.

Re: [Emc-users] Smart-serial and 7i43
2012/3/22 Peter C. Wallace p...@mesanet.com: You can check your converter by looping the RS-422 TX to RX (TX+ to RX+ TX- to RX-) and then togging the FPGA TX pin and seeing if the FPGA RX pin follows (you would need to disable SSERIAL so you catn get contro of the pins as GPIO = SSERIAL_PORT_0=) Here is what I did: 1) Soldered small wire between Tx+ and Rx+, as well as Tx- and Rx-; 2) In hm2-servo sample config, I added a line to specify that gpio.036 is output; 3) In HAL Config I watched gpio.034.in pin - it was false; 4) Then in Show tab I executed setp hm2_7i43.0.036.out 1 5) In Watch tab I observed that gpio.034.in had became true 6) Repeated the turning the output pin on and off several times, input pin followed it correctly; So my conclusion - that little converter is working.

The first schematic shows only a TTL to differential converter. The rest of the schematic shows a differential to RS-232 converter, which I assume does not apply here. Anyway, on one side of the chip the RxD and TxD pins could be tied together, then a signal on A(pin 8) and B (pin 7) should be mirrored on Y (5) and Z (6). In other words, ground (with a resistor) B and pull A up with a resistor to +5. Y should go up towards +5 and Z towards ground. Switch the ground and pull up on A and B, and Y and Z signals should switch. One could also loop the differential side of the chip by tying A to Y and B to Z (I think). Pull up or ground TxD, and RxD should follow. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA -- This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users

Check with mr Wallace, I believe the smart serial firmware in git needs a couple patches. He got me setup last week.

Viesturs Looks like at least 2 problems, one is that the firmware and driver are different versions (that firmware is fairly ancient) and the second problame is that the config line syntax has changed (this should be fixable with man hostmot2) P.S.
