Subject: [Emc-users] how to setup 5i25 as parallel card
I have been using using just the motherboard parallel port to drive my 4
axis stepper board. I now want to use a 5i25 to drive the stepper board.
Can you point me to a how to doc.
The first thing is to see if theres standard configuration that matches the
pinout of your 4 axis stepper board. Take a look at the pinout files for these
standard parallel port compatible 5i25 configurations:
5i25_dmmbob1x2.pin
5i25_g540x2.pin
5i25_mx3660x2.pin
5i25_prob_rfx2.pin
5i25_r990x2.pin
(they dont have to be an exact match, encoders and PWMs can be disabled,
allowing the pins to be used as inputs or outputs but you want the step/dir
pins to be correct)
These files are part of Mesa's 5I25 firmware distribution in
http://www.mesanet.com/software/parallel/5i25.zip
The board I have is the Probotix "PBX-RF RF Isolated CNC Breakout Board".
The 5i25_prob_rfx2.pin looks close. I attached my stepconf file. I do not
know if we are allowed to post with attachments.<?xml version="1.0" ?>
