In this video I do a short run through on how to install a DB25 to IDC26 cable on the Mesa 5i25 card in the Tormach Path Pilot controller so that I can access IOs 17 to 33.
I will go through how to edit the .hal file in a future video. I have some gear on the way to up my video presentation.

These kits upgrade your axis drives on the 770 and 1100 mills and gives position feed back allowing error alarms to the controller. They also run cooler and offer higher torque which allows for higher speeds...currently up to 300ipm (7620mm/min). These are complet kits for a clean install in your electrical cabinet. Full instructions will be provided. .ini configuration file for your machine with the higher feed rate is also included.
