I agree, I have used a few of the Rosewill Moschip based cards for step and direction and they work fine.The EPP mode for use with the smart motion cards is where problems pop up. Dave On 1/29/2011 7:20 PM, Kirk Wallace wrote: On Sat, 2011-01-29 at 15:07 -0800, craig wrote: Where

Hi Steve, During the period between PC on and machine on, some of the parallel port pins are on which make some outputs on. How do I know which pins are on during that period and which pins are off. This is all before the time EMC starts. Thanks Farzin On Sat, Jan 29, 2011 at 1:03 PM, Steve

On my plasma torch I have the same situation as parallel port pins states are unknown as the PC boots up I start the PC first then energize the plasma torch after. Simple but works. John Farzin Kamangar wrote: Hello EMC users, I would like to find out which Parallel port pins are on

I made myself an indicator plug from an old parallel port dongle. Take a piece of printed circuit board, a 1 k resistor and a LED for each pin you want to check. Some dongles contain a circuit board ready made. This is very useful not only at boot up time, but also to check what EMC2 does,

[Emc-users] Parallel port pins not reflecting paraport pins

2007-03-23 Thread Colin
Hello, Using the halcmd show pin command I viewed all the paraport values as emc2 was running, however, the values did not reflect the voltage readings on my parallel port. Is there something that I have to enable for emc to drive my pp pins? I am running ubuntu on a pentium2. thanks
