Unless you already have some sort of RS232 receiver/decoder for those
valves,
etc., it would be simpler to add a PCI parport. I did that and now have all
kinds
of inputs and outputs. I paid about 12 USD for the port. Of course, if
you're using
a laptop, the cost for a PCM card would be much more.

Gentlemen,
When playing with the machine sim I noticed a protocol that looked
a little unfamiliar. The retract levels looked different than what I
expected. This was in the G83 peck cycle. The g98/g99 commands seem to
work almost as expected. The description in the EMC2 G-Code Quick

Hi all,
I have installed Ubuntu 6.0.6 and EMC2 in my Dell C610 laptop (1Ghz, Pentium
III, dual boot). EMC2 is apparently working perfect on the screen, including
graphic simulation etc... until I connect it to my mill machine. The problem is
that the step motors do not operate fine. They

In ECP mode only, parallel ports have FIFOs. In traditional modes (SPP,

Linux should find it and have it show up in the Device Manager.

Thanks, I bought the dual port one from
I'm getting close to having time and a machine to do some development work
on.
My long list includes the ability to add complex cycles by writing g-code
subroutines to implement them. At the user level, they would be used exactly
as if they were built in to the interpreter.

That was funny. I finally got all the pieces together on Sunday but homing
would'nt work and it was getting late.
I was reluctant to post to the list because I had done this before and
homing was the least of my problems.
