  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

I would think the more likely path is to create your own bit file to map to PathPilot. Peter could help with that.
I have never built a bit file m yselft, instructions are sadly opaque or lacking.

In my discussions with Peter he's always either already had a bit file that fits. In my case with the PMDX-126 there were two different bit files. If you use the Gecko G540 there's a bit file for it. The 7i92_C11G series address another group of BoBs.
And then there's the more extensive 7i76 series of boards and bit files.

Attached is the VHDL file for creating the .bit file written to the device via mesaflash.

Gosh it's been years since I've done anything with this stuff.

Peter at MESA has always been super helpful.

Peter was very helpful to me today.
He said he does not have a Pathpilot setup running but figures he probably should.
