You are either not familiar with the machine, not having done the original install, or are not doing as I suggested. So we wonder if your hands even fit the tools. We, none of us, are mind readers, so you must be willing to either act as our hands by remote control by following the directions we give, or if one of us is close enough, possibly pay for a visit to your place so we can use our own hands. That means we have to know where you are on this wet ball of iron & rock called earth. There are enough refinements in 2.5.4 that the upgrade once done, will surprise you at just how much better it runs. There may also be a language comprehension factor here since I suspect that English is not your first language. If that is the case, what is your native language? Perhaps someone else here may be able to help you in your own language? One other question: Did you make a new config directory, with new files when you installed 2.5.4? Or are you still using the configuration from 2.2.4? > On Sat, Jul 12, 2014 at 6:39 PM, Gene Heskett <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Saturday 12 July 2014 21:12:55 a k did opine > > > > And Gene did reply: > > > i did make new cd are my switch -limit home-- does not working with > > > emc 2.5 ones again my machine work perfect with emc 2.2.4 > > > > Ok, while its running but idle, look at the parport pin your home > > switch is coming in on.
