[Emc-users] Output Port Blues on EMC2, Ubuntu 6.06

2007-11-04 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I was running EMC using BDI 4.49.  Changed over to EMC2, Ubuntu 6.06.  The mini 
interface runs on the computer just fine, but the machine no longer 
communicates with my stepper box on LPT1.  Does anyone know what file contains 
the I/O and pin settings for EMC2 on Ubuntu 6.06?

If you did a fresh install, your EMC should be like mine. Parallel port
pin assignments are made in a .hal file that is referred to by an .ini
file. Look in your home directory under .../emc2/configs
(or /home/your_home/emc2/configs) for a directory that matches the name
of the configuration you tried to run. Go to that directory and open
the .ini file. Look for something like:

...
[HAL]

HALFILE =  suchandsuch.hal
HALFILE =  anotherhal.hal
...

In the same directory look in the .hal files listed in your .ini file
for parport.X.pin-XX to get the pin assignments.

I hope this helps.
