I recently received my new 5i25 card. I'm using it to replace software
stepping on a 3 Axis machine.

It is very basic,

3 stepper drivers.
1 probe in port.
3 sets of limit/home switches where each set is shared for an axis and the
limit switches are used for homing as well.



I elected to use the "prob_rfx2" firmware version which is meant for the
"generic" breakout board.

The idea was to install the 5i25, hook my parallel cable from the printer
port into the 5i25 and set up a new emc2 config.


I'm a bit shaky on how to configure this as I just started studying it last
night, however it appears to me that if I created a "prob_rfx2.xml" file,
that I could utilize
pncconf to build my emc2 configuration.

I have the prob_rfx2.pin file that describes all of the pins that the
firmware defines.


Am I on the right track here? Also are there any references or tips that
anyone is aware of to help me along?

I'm linux savvy and a programmer, so any work that could be reusable I'd
like to share and provide for others that may follow down this path.


Thanks,
Curt
