Greetings all; I'm in the process of hooking up one of Steve Stallings #106 spindle controllers, and have run into either a config problem, a buglet or a hardware problem.
I thought it might be a bios vs parport thing, and when I checked, I found the bios was setting it for SPP, so I changed it to ECP, which did at least enable the spindle dir output as an output, where before I don't know what it was other than it sat at 45mv regardless of what I did. I can, using the halmeter, see that its enable goes true/false according to the state of the spindle buttons in axis. I can also see the value going up and down when I hit the + and - keys, (BTW, those buttons should be auto-repeat, all three of them, having to click the mouse for every percent of speed increase is a PITA) but the output is false and stays there, both at pwmgen.0.pwm and at parport.0.pin-16-out. So it seems to me that pwmgen isn't genning any pwm's. Try saying that 3 times quickly. :-) So, what do I check next folks? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
