I also installed the driver but do not work
help ................

Hi

I am installing 4 cards pci lpt chip netmos 9865 but I can not,

How are you installing the cards?

See my FAQ at www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/compo...ew&catid=18&id=18917 for how to address them in the .hal file

Normally the first address shown is the port address with Moschip
So your ports should be at 0xe00 0xe400 0xe800 0xec00, but don't make life too complicated, just insert one card at a time, then you will know which port relates to which card

I also installed the driver but do not work

There is no driver required, so don't try to load anything that came with the cards.

If you don't solve it, come back with a post of your main .hal file

regards

Hello, it works fine thanks ...............

Glad it helped you

Hello, I configured 3 ports "out" and 1 "" I checked the pins have 3.3v 10-11-12-13-15 rather than "2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9" not. How do I configure them to have 3.3v as 10-11-12-13-15 pin for use as "in". Thanks

Hi

If you configure as loadrt hal_parport cfg="0xXXXX out" the pins are allocated thus
1 in
2-9 out
10-13 in
14 out
15 in
16-17 out

If configured loadrt hal_parport cfg="0xXXXX in" pins 2-9 become in
giving you 8 more input pins

You would be best advised to put your spindle and all the axis drives on parport.0 and if you need to put all your limit switches and home switches on separate pins use parport.1 with all the extra inputs for that.

I just chain all my limits together in series so that if one activates it breaks the circuit which saves loads of pins and enables everything on one parport

regards

hello, but the pin 2/9 does not have power like 10/11/12/13/15 pin when configured as "in"

Hi

You don't say how you are testing or when.

The parallel port is in an unknown state until Linuxcnc has loaded the parport driver and started.

The output pins will emit TTL signals, below 0.8v is OFF and 2.4 - 4.8v is ON
The inputs can sink ~5V to 25mA and use the same input TTL convention as above

What you need to do is start your configuration and the open Machine > Show Hal Configuration > pins > partport.0 (parport.1 etc)
Then check that the right pins are present and watch the pins when you apply a signal to them or send a signal from them

You can use JT's parallel port tester www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/compo...iew&catid=18&id=4743
or
just attach a buffered BoB and ground the input pins and watch the Hal Configuration display

Remember that an opto isolated BoB will invert the logic on inputs, so you may need to use the -not suffix on your net assignments

Hello, everything works perfectly!!! thanks
