Hi again, Just want to see if anyone has any ideas I have not tried, to get this card working with pins 2-9 as inputs under EMC2.
It works perfectly with Mach and was connected to my MPG pendant with pins 2-8 plus 13&15 in use. I bought it because other users recommended it as a proper IO card which worked, not just a printer card. Under EMC I can load it as "0x5800 in" and hal creates all the right pins, but only 10,11,12,13,15 work as input, so no different to saying "0x5800 out" I have scoured the previous posts; I have downloaded the EPROM utility from SIIG and set it to EPP. (This card now has a XP utility to do it instead of a old DOS one, lot easier) I have also written 0x80 to 0x5c00 which should do the same, using the pcisetup.c code someone posted previously (had to change a couple of bits to account for different header locations, but seems to work fine) I have loaded the linux parport modules before EMC and then unloaded them as someone suggested for a MosNet card. Net result, an afternoon of frustration and then I wired up to pins 10, 11 and 12 to X/Z, 0.1/0.01 and Estop and got a working pendant. I did have a pyvcp panel set up in Axis, to enable mpg-x mpg-z and Jogging ratios. This worked perfectly, except that I needed to turn back to the computer to change axes, which was not ideal. Failing any other ideas, can anyone recommend a card which works fully under EMC. A twin ported card might be good, don't need any serial ports. regards Mick ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
