OK I did a little reading and I hope I have this right If I change this line: CONFIG=firmware=hm2/5i20/SVST8_4.BIT num_encoders=3 num_pwmgens=4 num_stepgens=1 to this: CONFIG=firmware=hm2/5i20/SVST8_4.BIT num_encoders=4 num_pwmgens=4 num_stepgens=0 I can have the step gen pins as gpio pins?

Terry, You basically have it right. That configuration will use all of the pins on the P2 connector, but leave P3 and P4 available for gpio. Note that the I/O is on the odd pins, all even pins are grounds (same as the old 5i20 driver). Regards, Eric OK I did a little reading and I hope I have

Hi, As I was looking through the SVST8_4IM2.pin file I saw that the connections for P2 are almost the same but P3 is alot different than the origional mi520. Do I make a new hal.io file for my machine and that will override the pinout that is listed for P3 in the SVST8_4IM2.bit file? I would

Terry, The new m5i20 and Mesa drivers in general are much more flexible than the old m5i20 driver. If you look at configs/hm2-servos/5i20.ini, you will see the following at the beginning of the file: DRIVER=hm2_pci BOARD=5i20 CONFIG=firmware=hm2/5i20/SVST8_4.BIT num_encoders=3 num_pwmgens=3
