Hello, I am having a problem getting a custom M101 to work. I building a custom tool changer and I am controlling it with an arduino board. I need to send a BCD signal over a spare parallel port. I have a C program that accomplishes this and I can make it work by running it from a terminal. I do however need to run it with sudo. Because of this I also tried a bash script that called the C program and got the same result (no response). Both work from the command line. I get no errors from EMC2. The spare port is not used by EMC2. It is actually the port on the mother board. My machine is running off a PCI parallel port card. The files are also in the appropriate directory.
I have entered a echo command in the bash script that is shown when I run it from the command prompt. When run from EMC2 should it appear in a terminal window? I realize I could use classic ladder to accomplish this as well but I don't see why this is not working? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
