Touch Plate Explanation please

Hang on I found an error in the config I posted I will post another shortly...


[edit]

Ok, so again:
1- DELETE your folder "Router" in the folder "config".
2- check that the folder "config" does NOT contain a folder "Router" anymore
2- Unzip the attached "Router.zip" into your folder "config"
3- Check if the folder "config" contains a folder "Router" again.
4- start Router.ini from the terminal.
5- report any errors

Here is the "Router.zip" to unzip into your "config" folder after you have completed steps 1 and 2:

Thanks again and progress. I had spent some time, again, cleaning out and then created a new config. Followed your instructions although I do not know how to start from terminal. and just used the desktop icon. Linuxcnc booted up and touchoff now working so nearly all ok.
I am trying to find a way to start my spindle. I have used the Hal Watch and this changes when I activated on/off. Sould I have changed a pin in the Stepconfig?

What breakout board are you using on your parallel port?

It is a Chineeze BoB with "MACH3 Interface board"
It has connections for 0>10vSpeed spindle and PWM

Any information as to which pin the BOB wants the pwm (spindle speed) signal from the parallel port?

This one?

Yes, identical. My inverter can take an analogue input or RS485
