ah ok.
well the machine has 3 paralel ports. one on the motherboard (that I
don't want to use, in case I mess it up) so I got two pcie cards
and connect them to those.
so:
on parport0; LPT1; I have nothing connected
on parport1; LPT2: I have the lathe
on partport2; LPT3: I have the mill
I will try that tomorrow ..
thanks!!,
Ron

For that to work you would need something like this in your hal file:
loadrt hal_parport cfg="0 out 1 out 2 out"
From what I gather you have two ports, one for a mill and one for a lathe.
So you would have two separate configs and one would have:
loadrt hal_parport cfg="0 out"
And the other would have:
loadrt hal_parport cfg="1 out"
And BOTH would have
parport.0.pin-nn-out etc. etc.
Because BOTH have only one parport therefore it is the first parport in the
config.

I tried changing that in that .hal config file by changing all occurrences:
parport.0.pin-02-out to parport.1.pin-02-out and parport.2.pin-02-out (for
LP1, LPT2 and LPT3 respectively)
linuxcnc doesn't seem to like that, throws errors
(A long time ago I used turbocnc for trying to get some things to work)

It "should" work using 0,1 or 2 if not then you may need to enter the actual
address
parport.0 refers to the first port configured in the hal file, if you had two
ports they would be parport.0 and parport.1

Ok, so I don't use the "standard/typical" address?
0: 0x3bc 1: 0x378 2: 0x278 ?
So I would want to use lp1 for my lath and lp2 for my mill. From what I
understand I need to create two profiles, which is fine
I see stuff in Paxton-Patterson_Lathe.hal like
net xdir => parport.0.pin-02-out
net xstep => parport.0.pin-03-out
net ydir => parport.0.pin-04-out
net ystep => parport.0.pin-05-out
net zdir => parport.0.pin-06-out
net zstep => parport.0.pin-07-out
net adir => parport.0.pin-08-out
net astep => parport.0.pin-09-out
I kinda have the impression, it should be partport.1 for the next parallel
port and port.2 for the last one?

In the Base Information page you can select the number of parallel ports
Then in the Parallel Port 1 page you can select the parallel port using the
numbers 0,1 or 2 in the Parport BaseAddress entry
Then in the Parallel Port 2 page you can select the parallel port using the
numbers 0,1 or 2 in the entry that has no label in the bottom centre

Hello,
when I run stepconf, it creates a *.hal file.
It seems that the parallel port used in there by default is "parport0" (I
have 3 parallel ports, 0, 1 and 2).
can I create a config for a specific port? or di I manually need to edit them?
(I would like to have one machine on lp1/partport1 and the other on
lp2/partport2 and not use parport0)
thanks,
Ron
