Hello!

I use 2x4i65 with 2x7i33TA and 2x7i37TA. Now I would use the 7i73 via 7i44.
Is it possible to combine these cards together? Is there a firmware to access the 7i73?
I have seen it is possible with a 7i25 but not with a 7i65.

After your OK, I will buy these Cards.

Thanks and have a nice day,
Thomas

It should be possible but would require new firmware.
What current firmware are you using?

OK do you current have both 7I33s connected to one 4I65?
and do you use any stepgens?

I am asking so I can figure out what is the least disruptive way to add the sserial support to your current boards (the 4I65 has a fairly small FPGA so I am limited in what I can cram into it)

If you are using a 7I33 per 4I65 and no stepgens then a SVSS4_8 config on one or both cards (4 servo + 8 sserial channels) is probably a workable solution

I have 1x7i33 and 1x7i37 on each 4i65.

I have not stepgens configured on the boards only the I/Os(7i37) are in use.

My favorite configuration:

4i65 0: 7i33 - 7i44 - 7i37
4i65 1: 7i33 - x - 7I37

OK so theres a pinout for this config (SVSS4_8) with one small change: its 7I33,7I37,7I44.
That is, the smart serial is on the last connector. I'll built s 4I65 version of this config sometime today or tommorow
