All that Jon, may get done, but ATM I am out of I/O pins, waiting on a low profile back plate for a 5i25. Then the fun begins, trying to re-create in the 5i25, what I have now with a normal, but single parport. First I need to learn how to use hm2 stuff. I am using gating tricks in the hal file to make use of the G38.2 probe input as home switches now. Setting that up separately will simplify my hal file by at least 10 lines. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > ------ Put Bad Developers to Shame > Dominate Development with Jenkins Continuous Integration > Continuously Automate Build, Test & Deployment > Start a new project now.
