Yup, fixed now. > Did you build the mesaflash source with "sudo make install" ? yes > > But apparently the setp for output-type takes a different syntax as > > trying to set it to zero is a pin not found showstopper???

But that does not agree with the software version, logging this at startup of linuxcnc: hm2/hm2_5i25.0: invalid pwmgen output_type 0 requested hm2/hm2_5i25.0: supported .output-type values are: 1 (PWM & Dir), 2 (Up & Down), 3 (PDM & Dir), and 4 (Dir & PWM) I can run on 2 or 3, ignoring the dir so thats not a real problem. Getting the correct polarity, off=low, when the machine power is off might be. OTOH they won't run long without a hot supply, which also goes away when F2 is toggled off. I'm about spent for the day, the years are tattling on me, so thank you Peter. Take care & stay well, both of you.
