What I believe has happened is that you were originally using the old m5i20 firmware and your own hal file, When you changed to 2.5.4 you started using the hm2-servo _Example_ hal file. The example hal file hs no limit switch support built in so you will have to add the limit switch connections in the hal file in order for them to become functional > ////////////////// > I am not a developer who buckle down emc2-- 2.5.4 > i am final user. i can say only if it works or it does not. > and combination --emc2---2.5.4 with boards 5i20/7i33/7i37 - does not > working. > ////////////////////////// > what else do i need to say? > > > > > > On Sun, Jul 13, 2014 at 1:11 AM, Gene Heskett <ghesk...@wdtv.com> wrote: > >> On Saturday 12 July 2014 23:50:59 a k did opine >> And Gene did reply: >>> --One other question: Did you make a new config directory, with new >>> files --when you installed 2.5.4?
