Yes this is easily doable. When you start emc2 and it loads the hostmot2 driver modules, it logs (in the syslog) the connector/pin and "IO numbers" it's using. It'll look something like this: IO Pin 048 (P4-01): Stepgen #0, pin Step (Output) IO Pin 049 (P4-03): Stepgen #0, pin Dir (Output) From this you can take the IO pin number for your Dir signal (049 in this example) and invert the signal on that pin with a HAL command like this: setp hm2_5i20.0.gpio.049.invert_output 1 -- Sebastian Kuzminsky We need numbers, not adjectives. -- David MacKay <http://www.withouthotair.com/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
