All the amp enables turn on at the same time, so it doesn't matter which one you use. > When I added this line, I could not get EMC to run.

Without seeing the actual error, all I can do is guess. My guess is that you didn't remove the previous connection to parport pin 1. This results in an error when the line you added gets executed. Search for pin-01 in the hal files and you'll likely see two (or more) places where it's used. - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
