this is the folder where my own config is stored. I cant find the ptest.hal there ...
I found it in /usr/share/doc/linuxcnc/examples/sample-configs/apps/parport but this folder seems to be read only. Do I not have the rights? However ...
I created a new folder and copied the ptest hal and the xml and launched the tester via terminal. Was hard for a newbie like me but worked.
The only thing that didnt work was the parport itself.
I tried every entry listed here:
03:00.2 Parallel controller: MosChip Semiconductor Technology Ltd. PCI 9865 Multi-I/O Controller (prog-if 03 [IEEE1284])
Subsystem: Device a000:2000
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 19, NUMA node 0
I/O ports at dd00
I/O ports at dc00
Memory at fdcfd000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Memory at fdcfc000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: parport_pc
Kernel modules: parport_pc
In this case 0xdd00 and 0xdc00.
For 0xdc00 following error occurs:
Note: Using POSIX realtime
config string '0xdc00 out'
No parport registered at 0xdc00. This is not always an error. Continuing.
For 0xdd00 it looks like this:
Note: Using POSIX realtime
config string '0xdd00 out'
halcmd: exit
Note: Using POSIX realtime
Adress is accepted but the multimeter connected to pin1 and pin20 or any ground does not show any mV.
Tested also for df00, df02, df03, df07, dd00, dd02, dd03, dd07 because I found theese adresses in terminal with - forgot the command. Also tested simply "0" and "1". Didnt work either.
With "dmesg|grep parport" I get:
[ 5.025456] parport0: PC-style at 0xdf00, irq 17 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
[ 5.133400] parport1: PC-style at 0xdd00, irq 19 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
So the two parports seem to be known and available but there is no reaction.
Any Ideas??
