Hi all
I need to set a 5i25 up as a dual lpt port. I want to replace my

Does anyone know where I can go look for the files please?

Greetings all;
Trying to troubleshoot my failed G0704. It apparently took a hit while I
was in the shop with all sorts of tubing etc stuck here and there

Got a pair of control boxes I've assembled. Power

There are at least 2 ways.
You can use the command-line tools that exist in the LinuxCNC version of
the Hostmot2 repository:

There are pre-existing 5i25_g540_7i76.bit and 5i25_7i76_g540.bit files.
(7i76D is the same pinout as 7i76)

I've finally had some time to get back to the CNC upgrade and I copied the test

Now a new problem or not so much a problem but I can't figure out how to fix it
and it's probably right in front of my nose.
The Z axis is a knee, not a quill and on the 7i92H the knee is now going in the
