Hi Matthieu My next suggestion would have been to see if the port works but you have done that now. I suggest that you email Peter Wallace at Mesa directly. He might be able to help better. On 2014-02-10 08:36, Matthieu Patou wrote: > Hi Marius, > > On 02/09/2014 08:46 PM, Marius Liebenberg wrot

Mattieu Chris did confirm that there is a bug when you dont use the default port. What happens if you use this line loadrt hm2_7i43 config="ioaddr=0x3bc firmware=hm2/7i43-2/SVST4_4.BIT num_encoders=0 num_pwmgens=0 num_3pwmgens=0 num_stepgens=3 " Also, you must make sure that the parallel port

Marius, Well I have only one parallel port in this laptop and I want that the 7i43 that is connected to it to the port at the address 0x3BC. When I connect the same 7i43 to an atom based workstation it works well because the address of the port is 0x378. Matthieu. On 02/09/2014 12:32 AM, Mar

If it is the case then it's confirmed that PNCConf has a bug because it should generate this kind of configuration when a non default address is specified for the parallel port. Matthieu. Yes this is a confirmed bug. https://sourceforge.net/p/emc/bugs/358/ Thanks Chris M

Matthieu The HAL file is correct. The PNCCONF utility will load the Mesa card drivers as it does. What you are wanting to do is load an extra parallel port. This is not the same as the 7i43 card but rather a parport. You should add to your HAL file the following stuff. Have a look at this fir

Hi Marius, See the attached file, I don't see anything related to loading the parport driver. It seems that the hm2_7i43 module is trying to use the default address. I get this on the dmesg hm2_7i43.0: board at (ioaddr=0x0378, ioaddr_hi=0x0778, epp_wide ON) not found! I suspect that I shou

See if the address that is used when the parport driver is loaded in the HAL file is what you expected it to be. You can also post you HAL file here so we can have look at that for you. On 2014-02-05 10:10, Matthieu Patou wrote: > Hello All, > > I have an atom desktop with a partport at 0x378 a

Also, PNCCONF might not have loaded the parport driver that you should use. On 2014-02-05 10:10, Matthieu Patou wrote: > Hello All, > > I have an atom desktop with a partport at 0x378 and a 7i43 + 7i42 hooked > to it and it's working well with LinuxCNC 2.5.3. > On a thinkpad laptop I have a PCMCIA
