Hi, 'Just trying to get on board here and I don't know much yet. I am running a controller board that needs to have pin 13 set high on the parallel port to enable the Z-axis. Otherwise it thinks the limit switch is open. Can someone tell me how I can do this? Thanks, MJ ---

You can make an output pin HIGH all the time by using "setp" in your hal file: setp parport.0.pin-MM-out 1 ^^ replace MM with the pin number However, parport pin 13 is an input to the PC, not an output (see http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.2/html/hal_drivers.html#fig:Parport-

Thanks for the link. Yeah that's right. Pin 13 is input. It is used for the z limit switch. For some reason the pin is showing 2.44 volts. The controller needs to see 5 volts to tell it things are a go. At 2.44 volts the z motor won't do anything. I have tried momentarily giving it a 5 vol

Hi Mark I suspect that this is a 3 volt parport. One recommended procedure is to use a powered breakout board. You could also use a PCI parport card that produces a 5 volt signal. Rayh On Thu, 2007-12-06 at 13:43 -0800, Mark Jackson wrote: > Thanks for the link. > > Yeah that's right. Pin
