I bought 3 different low profile video cards to try and get rid of that latency message. The ultimate and best solution was to buy the MESA 7i92H. Does away with the parallel port completely. John Dammeyer > -Original Message- > From: Thomas D. Dean [mailto:tomd...@wavecable.com] >

When you start up LinxuCNC you can click on an ICON that takes you to the folder that has the .ini and .hal files. I have 2 icons on the desktop, one for the parallel port version and one for the MESA 7i92H. For the last little while the MESA card has been sitting on the side and the PC

I understand. I'm running my DC servo's open loop with step/dir. So far any issues that show up are caught by the drives following error fault so I don't see any reason to close the loop inside Linux. And in any case then I wouldn't be able to swap back and forth between MACH3 and LinuxCNC.

Let's see: 6i24 = $139 7i33 = $69 7i47 = $69 7i44 = $69 7i77 = $119 (48 outputs, not really for buttons?) 7i70 = $79 (48 inputs not really for Relays) = $544 Perhaps take a step back and make a list of how many inputs and outputs you expect to need. Wouldn't a 7i78+5i25 Plug-n-go
