MESA 5125 with Probotix Controller was created by Irritant
I have just installed a MESA 5125 to solve latency problems. Except these errors it was configured okay for Probotix on the parallel port. With the new card nothing happens or works. Does anyone have this combo and can send me their config files to look at? I don't know what I am doing with this stuff and don't have weeks to learn.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Did you get the last hal file I sent you?
Did you try the Pncconf configuration you made?
And yes if someone has a configuration please post it.

Do you know which firmware is on the 5i25? There is a specific one for the Probotix breakout card.

I tried the new hal file, does not run.
I do hear the controller come to life when I switch on and the steppers have power. When I was running without the 5125 the estop switch worked even if the controller was off, but not now, it gives no indication that it works. And so there are no misunderstandings I am using the Unity controller from Probotix. I emailed them and Len said that as long as the pin setup matches it should run okay.

Sorry just making the water muddy talking about two config files at the same time.

Also when the config runs it has an old name displayed, I guess this is something left over in the config file that JT moded.

So with the configuration I changed the drives are getting enabled now and powering up. What happened when you tried the Pncconf configuration you made? Zip up the configuration directory and post it so others can look at it. I didn't change the machine name.
Edit: I think I see where I forgot to convert something the step and direction to the stepgen! Note to self only try to do 3 things at once...

Hmm, I'm missing something when I test the config on my plasma I don't see any stepgen counts change when I jog.
Edit: I seem to be missing a lot when I compare it to a pncconf configuration that works btw.
