I squished a silly bug with the hostmot2 pwmgen driver. It bit other people but not me because I had an old forgotten work-around in the hal config file I test with... If you had problems with pwmgen before, please give CVS TRUNK a try again. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky Theo: "Julian? I h

Sebastian, The dir signal appears to be working properly as well. If .value is 0 or positive, pin 19 is low, if .value is negative then pin 19 is high. As for the PWM, I am measuring it with a meter, not a scope, but it does not change (the voltage measured will typically be proportional to duty

I get the error your pastebin shows when I try to load probe_parport more than one time. Can you double check your config files, or put them somewhere online? Regards, Alex - Original Message - From: "Sebastian Kuzminsky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" Sent
