Hi Hugh I suspect MattS has felt another disturbance in the force. Good to hear from you. I hope that the install will go easier than that last. I seem to remember some of it. Is this an STG card? Rayh On Tue, 2007-01-02 at 07:24 -0600, Chris Radek wrote: On Mon, Jan 01, 2007 at

Dave, Rafael, Chris, Kyle Ray: Thank you. I've made some progress. I couldn't get cdrecord -scanbus to work. I think this is due to the ATAPI (not SCSI) drive but am not sure. I finally fired up X cd-roast and found the CD-RW address. (I'd looked here before but didn't see a clear way to burn

I got Hal running as just the input for encoders. It needed the write to the port. The command 'loadrt hal_parport cfg=0x378_in' seems to be legal. I've been running 1 encoder through it for a few hours. Now I need to talk about how to link it to something like QT3. You guys are great!

Well, if you must have Qt, then I think I can help you :) There was a little bit of work done on a Qt-NML interface a couple of years ago. It never went too far, but strangely enough, the demo app is a DRO :) I'll dig it up and either stick it on the wiki or I can email it (or even check it
