I looked at it once but never did try it out. I don't remember why.
Thanks for the link

Thanks John,
If I am using a servo with 512 PPR, is a step 1/512 of a revolution?
If your servo drives take step and direction signals then they are just like
steppers to the
software. If it takes 512 steps to go one revolution and it takes

you need to connect your parallel port input (I assume that you are using the

If you know nothing about linux then the LiveCD is your best bet.
We need more information than it failed to help you. If 8.04 installed then
the LiveCD

The 5i23 will not gain you anything for use with EMC.
As stated they do not come with cables. The cables are 50 pin not the more
common ones
used in computers that have like 42 pins or something like that. There are
several daughter
boards including a breakout board. There are pictures on the

Nice job on the conversion. I really like the EMC logo.
You might want to post the link on the wiki and on the forum for everyone to

It is actually very difficult to compute the time remaining as you have
to calculate the acceleration and deceleration of each move of the whole
file. There is a lot more to calculate than distance traveled and the
speeds. I have not seen any that can calculate properly the time for a

New on 2.4 is a THC comp designed to work with the Mesa THCAD High
Isolation A-D Card. This card takes a 0-10v input and converts it to a
pulse that is read by the 5i20 encoder input. The velocity output goes
into my THC comp and controls the Z axis with offsets to maintain the
desired input.
