Having the board in front of me would help or even a high res image. http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.6/html/hal/parallel_port.html "The HAL driver supports the bidirectional port, and allows the user to set the data group as either input or output. If configured as output, a port provides a total of

So it is looking like the external resisters some how become disconnected when you swap out the operating system? Interesting? No, seriously, the hard part about debugging is that all the documentation describe the INTENDED design and the way things SHOULD work. The first step in debugging is

I just looked at the manual for the Moschip 9865 and there isn't any mention of software select for the LPT signal pullups. It doesn't even mention any being internally available. Looking at the reference schematic they show that external 4.7K ohm resistors are to be used on all the LPT pins

I am trying to use a PCIe duel parallel port card and I'm having some trouble with it. It uses a Moschip 9865 according to lspci-v. I have 2 different breakout boards, one is a CNC4PC C10 board and it works perfectly fine with this parallel port card. The other one is one of those cheap 5

I have a CNC4PC parallel port breakout board connected to my parallel port via a parallel port cable. When testing all the outputs in EMC2 via the HAL command setp parport.0.pin-nn-out (all unlinked first) pins 1, 8, 9, 14 and 16 do not come on. Does this look like some kind of pattern or

These suggestions may be irrelevant, John. I've not had a full dose of coffee. Is the bios for this parport set to spp or out? Have you tried inverting these pins using HAL's parport parameters? I seem to remember that a couple of the pins you list were considered inverted in hardware but

Amen on the coffee. Still on first cup. Did you try the .hal equivalent of explicitly configuring the parport like: loadrt hal_parport cfg=0x0378 out? And as Rayh said, you might need resistors. Is it a standard desktop PC with on-board parport? Keep us posted, Emory On Dec 20, 2007 7:54 AM,
