Jeff Awesome fast!!! All is OK after your last change in 2.2 branch. If you permit a suggestion, would very good see g38.2 moves with dash-dot lines. Thank you very much. Daniel - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future

[Emc-users] How to configure pins in Parallel Port?

2007-12-06 Thread Mark Jackson
Hi, 'Just trying to get on board here and I don't know much yet. I am running a controller board that needs to have pin 13 set high on the parallel port to enable the Z-axis. Otherwise it thinks the limit switch is open. Can someone tell me how I can do this? Thanks, MJ

You can make an output pin HIGH all the time by using setp in your hal file: setp parport.0.pin-MM-out 1 ^^ replace MM with the pin number However, parport pin 13 is an input to the PC, not an output (see
