Parport Base Address and Launch my mill app (using Virtual Box, no mill, etc)

@Michael Chan,

If you want only to run simulation's you don't need a parport config at all.
You actually need a simulation configuration to test your machine output.

The axis config's has a simulation version (standard). This ini and hal config's can be used and can modified all over the linux sources.
It works with Gscreen, Gmocappy, etc. It even works with Ethercat (the fastest protocol). Because linuxcnc is written to be compatible.

Are you running a virtual box in windows? So yes, why?

tbh, I'm just rather not deal with linux on my laptop, but should probably get in on my laptop, if this is the case. As for why, well I was planning on just messing around with the simulations, but wanted to try other things out. Then this happen, so my bad. also Oof.

In window's you can do certain things, but not very much things, like command line command's like sudo.
Sudo mean's power. If you type : ping forum.linuxcnc.org
you get :
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 99.633/99.945/100.309/0.244 ms

If you type sudo before, you are in the endless loop.
So keep in mind. Once you start with linux, you will stay there if you are curious about linux.
Within 10 year's window's will not be used anymore. Who has a nokia phone today? Nokia and window's lost the battle.

Stepconfig can create simulation configs as well. (on the first Stepconf window there is a check box for create simulation.)

That config he can use. But i prefer that Micheal uses a linux installation instead of windows.
Once he get used to it. He thinks back to my advise.

Linux can couple cnc, vision, all kind's of code's let's say in python in the same program. So power to the max.
If you have window's you have to contact 5 party's to collect code and combine code. Very stupid future idea isnt it?

there are plenty of simulation mashines on the system
also all GUI systems without a mashine atatches

see my YT channel with all this done on a non Realtime
