i will check , but about all - every single LED was ON on 5i20 or no I can not say but when i used -emc2--2.2.4 there was many LED light ON some on middle of the board and some on the side of the 5i20 board. when i use emc2---2.5.4 ---- NONE of LED was ON..
How that very big and obvious difference can be explained? And i want to attache to it that limit and home switches stop work on emc2---2.5.4 ---- Is this simple coincidence? That is why i want to find out who else use emc2---2.5.4 with boards 5i20/7i33/7i37? if one can replay that yes i have used exact same combination --- emc2---2.5.4 with boards 5i20/7i33/7i3 and no problems--- limit switched working than it sound complicated . ////////////////// I am not a developer who buckle down emc2-- 2.5.4 i am final user. i can say only if it works or it does not. and combination --emc2---2.5.4 with boards 5i20/7i33/7i37 - does not working. ////////////////////////// what else do i need to say?
