No stepper movement was created by 9183jim
Hi i think i am having truble setting my stepconfig. I had got the 4 axis moving when i was able to trouble shot my set up at first. And feeling content with my progress i shut the computer down. When i started it up again the steppers would not run. My io parport address seems to be ok because when i change and try to run the machine i get linux parallel port @ 57363 not found and when i change it back to what i think is right i dont get the warning. I have attached a pdf of the bob and hope that some cand tell me how to set the pins not including step and direction as i think i have the correct. I am going to use a mesa card in the long run but i am at the start or my learning curve here and wiuld like to get to turms with the parallel port. Its was working before i shut down and my it seems any settings i got accidentally where lost. My board has no charge pump

This is often caused by wiring the stepper drive "enable" pins and accidentally disabling them.

Are the motors locked when LinuxCNC is active, or free to turn?

Hi andy i think i have heard you being referenced on youtube. Thanks for your reply. The steppers are locked when active.

If the steppers are locked then the drives are enabled.

Do you have a 12V or 24V supply to the breakout board?

Does the reported position of the axes on screen change?

ave you turned LinuxCNC on (F1 then F2 on most GUIs)

12 v

I have toggled estop and machine power.
I think its related to my io parport settings

Try creating a new, dummy, setup with stepconf and see if the axis test gets you anywhere.

Can you attach the HAL and INI files?

What is your parallel port address?

In the HAL file, line 6 says:
loadrt hal_parport cfg=" out"

I think that this needs either the address, or the index.
loadrt hal_parport cfg="0 out"
or
loadrt hal_parport cfg="0xe010 out"
