Hi Everyone,
I can report that EMC2.4.6 release has fixed the parallel port issue on my
D510MO + MESA 7i43 system.
Many thanks to those who worked on this issue.
Regards
Andy

Thank you to your very nice answers.
I'll give a try in some days to see if it works.
But I'll have to update my distro before as I'm using ubuntu 6.06.
with as much as old EMC2 :) .
I wonder how difficult can be the transition having in mind that I have
my own kinematic module (genhexkins.c).

As I mentioned before - We home using 2 micro switches. one switch is on the
linear slide and one is on the timing gear.

the 2 switches are hooked in series. so when the linear closes then it waits
for the one on the timing gear to close.

There may be a bit of that. I know that it would be nice if my lathe
held diameter to better than 0.1mm through a restart, but I
I really appreciate all the input! I have to say I had no idea how much

for homing, or perhaps makes me surprised that the EMC user base is just homing

In hal, it is necessary to connect several index-related pins together
to make everything work right:

It's also very important to have your hal threads in the right order

I do work occasionally with a company that make coil winding and
inserting equipment for motor manufacturers.
After they load a stator assembly with coils they often lace it.
Their lacing machines are customized for a certain motor stator and they
operate like specialized sewing machines, pokin

Hello,
I'm the owner of such card, as I read from the documentation, the internal
encoder counter of the card
will go to 0 in the next index pulse after index-enable.
I suppose that if I activate EMC's option INDEX_ENABLE to true in the INI file,

would get hat behavior.
That looks nice,
