Re: [Emc-users] Address in of parrallel port not used in PNCCONF ?
Marius, Well I have only one parallel port in this laptop and I want that the 7i43 that is connected to it to the port at the address 0x3BC. When I connect the same 7i43 to an atom based workstation it works well because the address of the port is 0x378. Matthieu.

Re: [Emc-users] Address in of parrallel port not used in PNCCONF ?
Hi Marius, See the attached file, I don't see anything related to loading the parport driver. It seems that the hm2_7i43 module is trying to use the default address. I get this on the dmesg hm2_7i43.0: board at (ioaddr=0x0378, ioaddr_hi=0x0778, epp_wide ON) not found! I suspect that I should change the line from: loadrt hm2_7i43 config="firmware=hm2/7i43-2/SVST4_4.BIT num_encoders=0 num_pwmgens=0 num_3pwmgens=0 num_stepgens=3 " to loadrt hm2_7i43 config="ioaddr=0x3bc firmware=hm2/7i43-2/SVST4_4.BIT num_encoders=0 num_pwmgens=0 num_3pwmgens=0 num_stepgens=3 " If it is the case then it's confirmed that PNCConf has a bug because it should generate this kind of configuration when a non default address is specified for the parallel port.

Hello All, I have an atom desktop with a partport at 0x378 and a 7i43 + 7i42 hooked to it and it's working well with LinuxCNC 2.5.3. On a thinkpad laptop I have a PCMCIA parport card at 0x3bc and when I try to run Axis, after configuring this laptop for the same card, I got errors about missing card at address 0x378 even though I configured it to 0x3BC.

[Emc-users] mesa 7I43 + MPG + speed control rotary switch
Hello all, My father and I are trying to hook a MPG + a speed control rotary switch to a MESA 7i43 and it seems not to work as expected. The rotary switch has 4 position to control speed increment. We tried the configuration in PNCconf and we stumble into the following issues: * most of the time we have to manipulate the speed switch in order to have a change on the jog reflected in axis * most of the time we have to manipulate the jog switch in order to have a change on the speed switch reflected in axis It looks like both switch are somehow interdependent, we tried to tweak the debounce but with no success. Then we tried this while keeping all the physical connections in place: * Reconfigure just the MPG with PNCconf: every thing is working on 3 axis the motion switch behave as expected * Reconfigure just the speed control: changing the switch position correctly change the speed Do you have any clue to understand the issue we have when both the MPG and speed control switch are configured in PNCconf ? Thanks ! Matthieu. -- Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
