Hi,
yeah I figured that out a good while ago, using turbocnc. I'll play
with it a bit more. But at some point I probably want a better more
standard driver.

It is probably worthwhile persevering, if you got the axes moving then
you can't be too far off.
They look like Sherline machines, I guess they have a third party
parallel BOB and drivers, do you have any info on them.

I am actually tempted to replace all the electronics in my CNC
machines, and start from scratch.
I have two Paxton/Patterson "CNC Training Center" machines, bench
top, a lathe and a mill.

Ok, that seems to be working now, even in stepconf (wonder what
was going on there).
I have the mill working (sort of), I can make the XYZ axes work,
that is, I can
jog them in stepconf (the axis moves one step every time I click
one of the green arrows, I
expected it to continuously move)
The lathe I don't have working on h eother port yet, wonder if
maybe something is wrong there.
(the spindles are not running, but that might be because I forgot
to do the wiring for that, when I built the new cables.
I have an issue saving the second/mill configuration though, here's
what I get:
Stepconf encountered an error. The following information may be
useful in troubleshooting:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/stepconf/pages.py", line
82, in on_button_fwd_clicked
self['%s_finish'%name]()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/stepconf/pages.py", line
720, in finished_finish

thanks,
Ron.

In that case the lathe would have:
loadrt hal_parport cfg="1 out"
And the mill would have:
loadrt hal_parport cfg="2 out"
But again BOTH would have parport.0.blah-blah as it would be the
first port.

You would have two separate configs, the lathe would have:
loadrt hal_parport cfg="0 out"
And the mill would have:
loadrt hal_parport cfg="1 out"
