When you use the word beginner I'd say forget all the experimental stuff
and just get a desktop PC. I just purchased this setup and the latency
is really great, usually < 9000 with an occasional 13300.

Hi Andy,
I swapped it out while troubleshooting.
So it works fine in Stepconf Wizard, but not in

Well spotted!
Bill, you need to either un-select "simulator" in stepconf, or swap
"sim_parport" for "hal_parport" in your hal.
Doh!
Got it running. Thanks everyone!

Hi Andy,
Here is the hal load for port 0 and 1. They both don't load. I would assume
I am connected to linux "0" since they have different errors.
FYI: Last night I swapped card ports to see if this was this issue.
bill@CNC:~/Desktop$ halrun
halcmd: loadrt hal_parport cfg-"0"
Error: could not
Hi Andy,
I fixed the typos.
Linux ports 0 and 1 did not work. 0x378 seemed to load (it did not give
error message). I still cannot make the motor turn if I set Parport Base
Address to 0x378 in Stepconf Wizard.
halcmd: loadrt hal_parport cfg="0"
Error: could not insert module
Got it!!! With a little help from a friend.
He figured out 0x378 is for a on-board parallel port. Mine is a add on.
I do lspci -vvv and search for 9900 device. Then I use the first I/O port.
>From below the I/O is e010 so my port is 0e010. Worked great!!
bill@CNC:~/Desktop$ lspci -vvv
01:00.0
Thanks Andy.

Hi All,
First, I am pretty new to all of everything. I am hoping someone can point
me back in the right direction.
I am trying to get my bench setup running. I have a single nema 17 motor
connected to a Gecko G540 using a 24V PS. I can power up the G540 with the
charge pump off and the motor

Hi,
I am looking for a computer which works with the Mesa cards (5i25 in
particular). This is for professional use. If a higher priced one saves me
time, I am all for it. Size is not a big issue. I can use mini ATX or mini
ITX. I also may buy more than one. Future availability would save
I second Onshape for CAD. The price is right. I actually love the fact that
it is online. No PDM, No Server, No CAD Station, No Video Card, No Crashes
(they just swap servers). Sharing is a breeze. I am sure they can do
security better than me. I know they have some big name CAM partners, but
