Then that would have been two different sets of configuration directories, the live cd would have been volatile, in ram, the install of 2.5.4 would be as named subdirectories of ~/you/linuxcnc/configs. Show us an ls -lR of this configs directory please. > ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, > about --English is not your first language--- > i do not see difference between 1 st or 2nd one > what i can not see it is clear instruction/direction: > step 1 - 2... n I gave you start points in the last post. You refuse to take even the first step required to troubleshoot. Also, I can assure you that it is not LinuxCNC as I have 2 installs here that do work.

And I believe this is the first time you have said you are using Mesa's interface boards.

Attention here!!!!! > when i use emc2 -- - 2.2.4/2.2.5 > all LED lights on board 5i20 are ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do not know about the 5i20, but the docs on my 5i25 tells me that if both leds are on, the board is miss-configured and incapable of working. So the first thing I would do is go to Peters site and download & print the 5i20's documentation. That is at: <http://mesanet.com/pdf/parallelcardinfo.html> However, according to the 5i20.pdf, all leds on, on the 5i20 indicates all outputs are at logic zero. As that is the default power up state, I do not think it has been configured. Can you move the machine with the arrow keys after the F1, F2 enable sequence? I do not see the 7i33, but the 7i37 docs are on that same page if you scroll down. Backing up to mesanet.com, and clicking on Anything Daughter cards will get you to where the 7i33 docs are. Get those also. Next, trace or "ring" the switches, they are connected to what terminals, I assume on the 7i37, since the 7i33 is apparently all servo & encoder interfaces. Tell us that info too. Properly setting up this 3 board combination is far more complex that the standalone 5i25 I am attempting to use. Do you have a backup of the old install of 2.2.4? It could be used for comparison with the 2.5.4 install. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
