Hi all compliments of the season.

Been out of this for aprox 5 years, moving house a number of times and machine fell into disuse, comp died so had to start over.
I'm using 251 gecko drives with EN-008 MB-02 Breakout Board V6.

So new computer and I just can't get around the Parallel Port.

used:- dmesg |grep parport

and got parport 0 : pc style at 0x378

so used 0x378 as parport should I have used parport 0

I used all my old settings in stepconfig

any help will be welcome
thanks Paul

"parameter or pin 'parport.0.pin-01-out-invert-fake' "

It looks like you might have ticked the "create a simulated" configuration box early in the setup process?

That's exactly what has happened.
Thanks very much Andy.
I was a bit down a rabbit hole on that one. Now to sort out a few other glitches.
