Thanks Peter. So, how did you determine that address to use for the stepper config? > Why do you need EPP? Perhaps I am wrong, but I interpreted that the wiki was stating that EPP is required: "Parallel port cards allow the addition of parallel ports beyond the built-in port on PC motherboards. These may be used for realtime functions such as software PWM and step/dir, or for user functions such as controlling coolant, tool changers, relays, etcetera. Nearly any card will work with pin changing functions (hal_parport), but very few cards are compatible with EPP, which is used with parallel port connected FPGA signal generators and controllers." http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?action=browse&id=EMC2_Supported_Hardware&revision=90 Best, Jeshua Lacock Founder/Engineer 3DTOPO Incorporated <http://3DTOPO.com> Phone: 208.462.4171 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
