I get the error your pastebin shows when I try to load probe_parport more than one time. Can you double check your config files, or put them somewhere online? Regards, Alex - Original Message - From: Sebastian Kuzminsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)

Sebastian, Next I'd want to check the electrical state of the IO pins. With SVST8_4, pwmgen.00 appears on pins 15 (PWM), 19 (Dir), and 23 (Not Enable). Bust out a voltmeter and carefully hook it to pin 23. Then twiddle pwmgen.00.enable high and low and see if the voltage on pin 23 varies as

Sebastian, The dir signal appears to be working properly as well. If .value is 0 or positive, pin 19 is low, if .value is negative then pin 19 is high. As for the PWM, I am measuring it with a meter, not a scope, but it does not change (the voltage measured will typically be proportional to duty

I squished a silly bug with the hostmot2 pwmgen driver. It bit other people but not me because I had an old forgotten work-around in the hal config file I test with... If you had problems with pwmgen before, please give CVS TRUNK a try again. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky Theo: Julian? I
