Has anyone used M66 with a parport input? I seem to be unable to make it work with a hardware input. I have made it work using a pyVCP button. I'm told that it works so I must not be able to figure it out. What I have done so far is documented here: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?

It would be nice if someone would put up an image somewhere which could just be written to a flash drive - it would save other people a lot of trouble and would probably save us from having a lot of questions on the list when people's compilations go wrong... -- Best wishes, Ian

Stuart, I did download the header file and had it in the same directory, but I found the problem. My compiler wasn't set up correctly. Thanks for the support. On Jan 11, 2008 9:01 AM, Stuart Stevenson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > -- > > > > Message: 6 > > Date: T
