Hi

After I got my second parport adress and configure it on the stepconf wizard, what else do I have to do?
I mean, I know that I have to edit my .HAL File, but in such file, I don't know how to edit the parameters of my second parport and doesn't even appear exactly as the one parport. I'm a little confused maybe, I hope somebody could help me.

You might also want to read up a bit on hal in the integrators manual.

I wonder if we should add pages to stepconf for the extra parports?
At the time it seemed like a lot of work for something that really needed to be
configured in a custom hal file anyways.
but I would bet that it is confusing to to add a parport but only see one parport configure page.
hmmmm

Hi Chris,

I see the option to enter another parport address in Stepconf. It would be slick if somehow it could test or list available addresses... and yes a page for the second one if added would be nice. I seem to remember something about being able to just enter the parport number instead of the address from somewhere...
