[Emc-users] Improved probing

2007-11-08 Thread Chris Radek
Hi all, I don't want to distract everyone from EMC2.2 but I've done some fun stuff in TRUNK (pre-2.3) with probing. I don't think many people are using probes but I know some are, and they might like to try it. I'd appreciate any reports of success or failure. There are some new Gcodes

[Emc-users] Low Cost Motion Contorl Card?

2007-11-08 Thread Paul Ritchie
Low Cost Motion Contorl Card?Anyone know if the 82C55 driver in EMC can be used with the following (or similar) low-cost card? http://www.measurementcomputing.com/cbicatalog/cbiproduct_new.asp?dept_id=224pf_id=821mscssid=5LA5N9DR9EDR8HQR46CQ7XPCSCD4DH75 Seems like a good alternative to parallel

I wouldn't expect either of the existing 8255 card drivers to work out of the box with that card. Measurement Computing has published the register specs for the card, so it should be pretty easy to write a driver for it or modify the AX5214 or PCI8255 drivers. Note that the Mesa Electronics
