I am sure that you can use these with your existing Torchmate too.

I'am using linuxcnc with the parallelport setup to control an 4 axis stepper
mill since two years. This setup is working satisfying.
Now I'd like to switch to (probably) the mesa 5i25 7i76 combo to achive a
higher step frequency, get more I/O lines and for the watchdog.

I would expect so - you'll use (for instance) hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0 for one
machine, and the next 7i76 for the next machine.
Not that I'm an expert, but it's what I'd do for this instance.
(I have a lathe on the parallel port, and a 5i25/7i76 combo for a mill - at
least, I'm trying to do this...)
Hi all;
Today is "CNC Machine Day", and I've spent over 3 hours trying to get a
5i25/7i76 combo working.
1) jumpers verified on 5i25, so that it supplies 5v to the 7i76;
2) both yellow LEDS on the 7i76 light.
3) Field power, separate 12v power supply.
4) 5i25 has sticker on back saying it has 7i7

email me with your configs
and what connectons are you using on the stepper drives , as these have
optos , do you have the + positive side of pulse and direction and enable
tied to 5+
with the neg sides connected to the 7i76 use STEP0- PIN2 and DIR0- the
enable lines can all go together to

Two things I can comment on.
1: I prefer 24v on the field voltage but has nothing to do with your problem
2: With the DM825 you have to use the inverted signal of the stepper
pulse signal. In your hal you just have to set the invert parameter for
your pulse pin to true.

Hello everyone,
we use LinuxCNC to control a dispenser. Since the fluids in use (epoxys
for example) can change their viscosity over time, we should be able to
control the dispensed volume while the machine is running. This is no
problem when dispensing a line, as the feed of this line can be adju

Because of some kernel modul being able to serve one instance of linuxcnc

Yes, there are many ways to do it, in fact.
What GUI are you using? You could easily add a GladeVCP or PyVCP panel

Ok - success!
1) Did David's suggestion re wiring.
2) Marius would have been able to help - I increased some of the timings
for step and dir,
3) I did up the amperage to the axes; don't know if that made a difference.
Lo and behold - the Y and Z axes are working. :-) The X axis needs some

Well, LinuxCNC can control a lot of axis, so multiple machine could be

I am afraid not. You could run one machine at a
Multiple instances are possible in MachineKit but I don't know details.
They also fully supports mesa hardware.
