Either software (through the parallel port or other GPIO) or a
hardware-based step generator such as a Pico, Mesa, Pluto, Motenc
card.

Spray it on your motorcycle seat and see if you still think that.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WD-40 describes it as a lubricant in many
places, and it is made from oil.

If you can't fix it, yo
WD-40 is drying oil rather than a non drying oil, it leaves a gummy
deposit, it is one of the worst things to put on a clock mechanism.

Thank you Philipp - would you mind providing the specific version number of
glade-gtk2 that you are using?
thanks,

I am currently thinking of switching to the BBB And Machinekit to run my cnc
Router.
But the first snag seems to be the Step pulse and no way of inverting it?
I am using Gecko 201s on all 3 axis which require The step pulse to be active
low (Pulse on high to low transition)
Whilst i realise this

Hi Owen,
have a look:
$ glade-gtk2 --version
glade3 3.8.0
$ glade --version
glade 3.12.1
The About-Box of glade-gtk2 also shows 3.8.0. So the version of glade
and the version of GTK seem to be mostly unrelated...
Regards,
Philipp

No rush,just thinking of ordering the hardware and this is a showstopper.
Jeff at xylotex has offered to supply his db25 board with some hardware change
to invert the step and dir signals.
But i thought it might be a software change that i could make.
