They work just fine, Jeff, I'm using a 3 axis board myself, and have been since emc1 days, using a radio shack breakout board to remap the signals. Now particularly since hal now has mapable i/o pins, the pinout diffs between the Xylotex boards and other driver boards is a total non-issue & the rs232 breakout box isn't needed anymore. Emc2 even comes with a halfile made for the xylotex boards. So who is spreading the fud about them not working? And where is the wiki? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
