Hello me again.
After a long absence due to a wiring problem in my vision I am back into experimenting with my lathe and future three axis machine running on EMC2. After a call out for redundant computers with a parallel port, I have inherited yet another Shuttle PC. I have had another go using a PCI parallel port card but with no success. An earlier response indicated that EMC2 Foamworks and Mach3 will drive via the PCI card. I suspect that this is because as with Foamworks, Mach3 uses the windows driver rather than as I suspect, re-configuring the parallel port driver/configuration when EMC2 is loaded onto a Shuttle. So I guess I must attempt to get into I believe the HAL file and put things right. So if anyone is able to guide a non software wizard such as myself then I would be chuffed to have a go. Any offers?
Regards
Ken
