Thanks PCW,
I'll give it a try and get back with the results:
BTW: when I run the mesafirmware command, I get the following configuration :
Code:
unable to set bpw32, fallback to bpw8 <-- this is ok, found a post covering it..... :-)
Configuration Name: HOSTMOT2
My need is to hook my Chinese CNC. I downloaded the configs from the MESA site. Is there a better configuration to apply?
This is my actual DB25 pinout for my machine (extract out of my working .hal file):
Code:
net estop-out => parport.0.pin-01-out
net ystep => parport.0.pin-02-out
setp parport.0.pin-02-out-reset 1
net ydir => parport.0.pin-03-out
net xstep => parport.0.pin-04-out
setp parport.0.pin-04-out-reset 1
setp parport.0.pin-05-out-invert 1
net xdir => parport.0.pin-05-out
net zstep => parport.0.pin-06-out
setp parport.0.pin-06-out-reset 1
net zdir => parport.0.pin-07-out
net astep => parport.0.pin-08-out
setp parport.0.pin-08-out-reset 1
net adir => parport.0.pin-09-out
net xenable => parport.0.pin-14-out
net xenable => parport.0.pin-16-out
net xenable => parport.0.pin-17-out
net all-limit-home <= parport.0.pin-11-in-not
net probe-in <= parport.0.pin-15-in-not
I am aware that I need to read and understand the documentation
but a little help from the community will surely help me to get quickly to a running system and then I can enhance it in a second step.
Regards
