[Emc-users] Parallel port interface

Can any one tell me if I need pullups on the pci parallel port input pins? This would be for interfacing homing and limit switches. If I do need pullups couldn't I set an unused output pin to 1 and then use that as a source for my pullup resistor power? I assume a 2.2K pullup would be a

Re: [Emc-users] My first attempt at altering stepper_inch

No, I created MyConf folder and put my modified files in it. Only BP.ini, Mycore_stepper.hal, and pinout.out. Is emc.nml the only other file that must be there as it is currently configured? I only wanted to put files there that are necessary in order to keep clutter to a minimum. Jack Ensor

[Emc-users] Steppers and INI file

I am running a four-axis mini-type mill with a xylotec board and stepper motors throughout. Everything runs fine (pretty much) except for the 4th axis which is an angular axis. All the linear axes have the same settings in the INI file and are mechanically the same. I have noticed that when

Thanks Chris. The G0 answer makes sense. I am running EMC 2.1.1 I'll post the INI file as soon as I get it off the machine. Best regards, -- -- Glenn On Thu, Mar 01, 2007 at 04:04:16PM -0800, Glenn R. Edwards wrote: I have noticed that when I do a fast-move command with all axes going,

[Emc-users] Electrical Questions?

I've ordered the breakout boards and cables for the Mesa 5i20, hope to order the 5i20 7i33 today. I was wondering if anyone here has made electrical drawings for this or other EMC machines. I was thinking something along the lines of a power switch that turns on the computer and input power.
