Gene; See the attached pdf I made. This is the pinouts as I read them from the ebay display images. It doesn't answer everything and I think you will want to use the B axis for spindle control since this BoB only provides for On/Off but no direction. Another oddity if I read things correctly

Re: [Emc-users] "Probe triggered during jog"

Well, how do I modify it? Like I say, pressing Probe Z momentarily starts an ngc. My best guess is the probe input needs to AND with "isAuto", does that sound right? I don't think I saw the probe trip during g-code running (which would be weird if it's to protect the probe). Danny On

Re: [Emc-users] Need unlocked copy of a pdf for a breakout board I just bought two of.

The 5i25 is completely flexible, more so than a standard parallel port, as every pin from 1-17 can be input or output. If none of the standard bitfiles covers your pinout need, Peter Wallace or John Thornton can easily generate one for you that does. It isn't at all impossible to set up to

I designed a 3D printed case for it, with a solid lid and one with slots so the screw terminals can be turned with the lid on. The solid lid would be for a permanent install where you don't want easy access for people to fiddle with it. Mounting tabs would be easy to add with any 3D software

Yes, Mesa has been kind enough to open-source all the vhdl for their cards. I learned vhdl from reading Peter's excellent logic. You can look all the documentation up on Mesa's site and in the LinuxCNC source tree. You have to install the Xilinx webpack, but you don't have to use the Xilinx gui

[Emc-users] "Probe triggered during jog"

I have a wireless toolsetting probe here. It's nice, but it's naturally sensitive. Even when you're not using it, very easy to trip, and LinuxCNC generates a "Probe triggering during jog" error. Just bump the table. The probe doesn't even have a physical hard switch, just the plate. Hmm.
