Great, two easy fixes to the config files, no code changes ne

Looks like that got me over the hurdle. I can turn outputs like the brake off

I now have the limits working I moved them to pin 32-37, seams pin 24 thru pin
31 on P3 are not useable. Would I be better off moving the cable to P4 and
leave P3 unused? I will still need some inputs for amp faults and spindle drive.

Ok that's a given if it setup correctly. Any good exmples of a hal for a 5i23
that using 7i37 and 7i33? The encoder are working but none of the GPIO is
working

I put this in the hal file the only thing different is it now pulses the output
when EMC starts up but I still can not control it. Right now I'm only looking
at the brake output. I'm sure that once I get the brake working the other will
be the same problem.

If you use a DMM, can you see the limit switches activate at the Mesa

I should have said the encoders are working when I turn the motors by hand. I
don't have the amps plugged into the backplane. I have the X and Y motors
disconnected from the ball screws.
I haved used the halmeter. I can't seam to get the limit inputs either. They

I'm having some problems getting EMC to see the I/o on port P3 of m 5i23 I have
