Hi Glenn I installed my Motinc Lite. It's an older board using pld rev 2.2. I got mine without jumpers on J7 so just fired it up with the motinc configuration. Hal Show (a Scripts menu) shows all of the IO pins -- 0->31 inputs and 0-15 outputs. They are all motenc.0.??? So without any jumpers for card number it seems to be card zero. I also see estop in and watchdog reset pins. Looking at the parameters I see the usual scaling and offsets for DAC and ADC. There are invert paramerers for the 16 output pins. I don't see a "number of physical inputs" parameter at all. I believe those are fixed at 16 in and 8 out for each of the J4 and J5 connectors.
