Re: [Emc-users] Error on startup Lcnc
I found out that it was entirely hardware problem, because after moving parallel pci card to the other pci slot, it finally started to work. A wild guess might be that the PPMC board is not powered up or not connected? There is a Pico diagnostic program you might try. http://pico-systems.com/codes/univpwmdiags.tgz -- ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users

PCI does not assign addresses by slot #, but it does enumerate boards in the order of the slots. So, it is possible changing position will change the I/O address of the slot. Also, there are PCI slots with different power supplies and number of data bits, so possibly one slot was not compatible with the parport board.

First, of course, you need to make sure the driver can talk to the Pico Systems device(s). Recent versions of LinuxCNC send more info to the kernel log reporting what they sensed connected to the parallel port. So, do : dmesg | grep PPMC and it will pull only the lines from the ppmc driver out of the thousands of lines in the dmesg file. If no boards are found, then you need to try the diagnostic program to see if communication can be established. I don't know what Pico board you have, so I can't direct you to the correct diag program. Finally, you MUST use an IEEE-1284 cable. Standard DB-25 cables will not work, due to crosstalk.
