Thanks, this works - I thought that only worked on standard output lines - not on special function pins. Sometimes I am thinking too complex... Meanwhile I also added spindle control with a PWM output. I think the docs are a bit outdated (or I just found the wrong ones).Some docs tell me the to u

2009-04-17 Thread Rob Jansen
Hi, is it possible to invert the DIR signal of the stepgen output of the Mesa 5i20 board? On my old (parport) config I had the DIR signal inverted so I was looking for a similar option on the hostmot configuration. Otherwise I'd have to open the controller-box to change one of the phases of ea
