Hey, I am running emc 3.2.0 off the BDI with Jon Elson's pwm servo boards.  The machine is a knee mill, of similar size and mass to a hurco. This machine gets little use as its bigger brother does all the heavy lifting so the problem i describe below might have existed for some time and not bee

You can set the data pin direction in your hal file. Like: loadrt hal_parport cfg="0x378 out 0x1018 in" On 2/5/10, yann wrote: > I guys > > I see on some articles like this one : > http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/IO-Port-Programming.html#ss6.1 > that the 8 data lines D0->D7 on a modern par

Yes, when the underlying parallel port supports setting data pins 2-9 to input mode by setting the 0x20 bit of the control register, emc2 can use them that way. In the 'loadrt parport' line, specify the direction after the port address, as the following sample suggestion suggests: halcmd: load

I guys I see on some articles like this one : http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/IO-Port-Programming.html#ss6.1 that the 8 data lines D0->D7 on a modern parallel port can be configured either as outputs (the way EMC use it) or inputs. In the machine I'm bulding, I need some inputs to control th
