If you are going to use your parport to drive the step and direction inputs to your stepper drivers, the parport functions will need to be added to the faster base thread like in this example: http://cvs.linuxcnc.org/lxr/source/configs/stepper/standard_pinout.hal I believe the file below needs to be loaded with the standard_pinout.hal above: http://cvs.linuxcnc.org/lxr/source/configs/common/core_stepper.hal and load functions in the base and servo threads that create the signals that are connected to your parport HAL pins. More information on your set up might help. -- Kirk Wallace (California, USA http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ Hardinge HNC/EMC CNC lathe, Bridgeport mill conversion, doing XY now, Zubal lathe conversion pending Craftsman AA 109 restoration Shizuoka ST-N/EMC CNC) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
