Emco compact 5 Pc pin out help

with the lathe powered up of course..

No it does not, I tried to spin the spindle by hand and after that by turning the spindle power on but the rpm in LinuxCNC does not indicate anything at all.

In the lower left corner of the LinuxCNC window there is an on/off-indication but it does not change when I power of the lathe (actually, I do not know if it should change but it does not).I have attached a picture that is taken with the spindle motor running.

What cable are you using to connect the computer to the lathe?

In a terminal
cat /proc/ioports | grep parport
post the result

I was thinking that if the parallel port wasn't getting detected by linuxcnc - you would be getting this error..  (unless the config was changed)


 

Unless!!

There is an onboard printer port (header on the motherboard) that linuxcnc is using - and not the pci card!?
