One has 8, the other 6 so it doesn't really mater whether
the drive is unipolar or bipolar.

John,
EMC did work, but the input module was not loading and neither the input
section nor its pins appeared in the list under hal configuration.
As I recall, /var/log/messages reported *could not find Dual* or whichever
of the other names and ids I tried to use.
I will be at the shop later

If you read that whole post, you'll share everyone's disappointment.
Apparently there is a bug in that chip that causes incorrect microstep
angles and Allegro is unwilling to admit it or correct it.

I have installed a Logitech Gamepad on my machine recently. I could not get
EMC to recognize it using hal_input, but it works fine using hal_joystick.
I had a similar problem when I first installed Hardy and had not had
a problem with Dapper.
I don't remember all the details but I believe the

You should be able to substitute bigger output transistors and emitter/source
resistors for the originals. You might have to go to a lower resistance for the
resistors to trick the drive into not going into protection. Halving
their resistance
would allow 5 Amps from a circuit designed to limit at

Gentlemen,
I have connected a wireless USB game pad to the dahlih. It worked -

All the buttons and levers were recognized and worked
I was able to manipulate the machine from more than 100 feet away.
