ExpressCard Parallelport I/O disabled, adress??

Hey guys thanks for all your help!!!

I think the ports are working properly now. I imported an older config file from my old cnc-dektop and now I can see in the .hal configuration in "axis" that the step lights sometimes blink.

I think the problem was that the speed was too low to show up in the .hal checktool.

The problem was that I couldn't test the card on my real machine because the controllers were burnt (has nothing to do with new parallport). I'm gonna do this today, hopefully it will work

The optos are high-speed types. They are ok.


Andypugh: You are right, the pulses are too short to be seen with an LED. That was my guess too (later).


Sorry guys for my silly problems and thank you all

PS: The latency is better with my laptop than it was before with my desktop! The machine is rworking faster than before (unbelievable!!).
