I'm a little puzzled by the parallel port allocation. http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.4/html/examples_pci_parallel_port.html
When I do the lspci -v I'm not told where the motherboard parallel port is but the one plugged into the bus comes up at I/O ports at 3008 I/O ports at 3000 If I connect my parallel port cable to the board I just plugged in and modify the hal file loadrt hal_parport "cfg=3000" I get an error when Linux CNC starts up Linux parallel port not found @12288 Which is the decimal version of 0x3000 Yet, since I'm plugged into it, the system does work. Step/dir limits etc. If I try 3008 which is the other address reported by lspci it reports it can't find that one @12296 but now the hardware doesn’t function. So when I use 3000, which does work, why the bogus error message? And in case someone is thinking, why even bother, the answer is that I'd like the one at 3000 to be the second parallel port but when I have both set up with loadrt I still get that not found message. Very confusing John Dammeyer _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
