Re: [Emc-users] LPT address on EMC2
I just found one of my old emc.ini files and I have ; Address for parallel port used for steppers ; IO_BASE_ADDRESS =0x378 IO_BASE_ADDRESS =0xa800 I am not at the location of the machine, but I am wondering if I am blind and took an "a" for a "c" I'll let you know tomorrow.

Since there was nothing that could be 'hurt' - I was simply trying out Netmos parport cards, hooked to a Xylotex driver and stepper, no machine involved - I just tried the different addresses listed by `lspci -v`, until I found the ones that worked. - Take Surveys.

Okay, I have tried all of the values I get from the lspci command and non of them work; but, the factory port at 378 does work. the values I got were dc00 d800 d400 d000 cc00 c800 From what I remember on emc1 I had to use d000 Andy Chris Radek wrote: > On Wed, Mar 28, 2007 at 12:59:17PM -0500, Andy Holcomb wrote: >> Remind me again how to find the address of the lpt ports. >> Where do I make this change of address? > > http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?NetMos > > > - > Take Surveys.

[Emc-users] LPT address on EMC2
I lost my hard drive yesterday, it had BDI EMC running on it. I downloaded EMC2 Live and have it running on the computer. I have a LPT card installed that I use because my factory port is noisy. I am running stepper motors on a bridgeport, I have chosen the standard stepper set up in inch mode with the standard pinout. Remind me again how to find the address of the lpt ports. Where do I make this change of address? Andy - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
