Hello,
i'm completly new to cncs and tried to configure my cnc to work with linuxcnc. The configuration was done by Stepconf and tests in Stepconf work. But if i try the configuration in linuxcnc i get the error message
No parport registered at 0x9800. This is not always an error. Continuing.

Does anybody know how to get it working?

Thank you for your message. The port which works with Stepconf is 0x9800 i did add them both in the hope that it works. But the error is also there if i only use 0x9800:

What pin is used to enable the drives?
Try inverting that pin in StepConf.

So I did try some thinks and it seems like the emergency stop button was the issue. The button was inverterted but since Linuxcnc doesn't find the seriell port it disabled the whole mashine. If I remove the invertion the mashine works but the emergency stop doesn't.
But thank you very much tommylight for your time and help.
