Thanks for the info!
I've ordered a 7i78 now.
Is there anywhere a bitfile for the 7c81 with 7i77+7i78 available?

I wrote a bash script to create a full parallel port report following Rob's idea. It's called parportreport.

It logs:
* System info
* Kernel info
* dmesg content filtered to only the especified parallel port
* Base address, extended address, IRQ and modes
* lspci output filtered to only the especified parallel port
* ioports content filtered to only the especified parallel port
* invokes showport to show current operation mode

Usage:
sudo ./parportreport.sh X > report.txt

# Replace X with the parport number. For example, you you want a report for parport1:

sudo ./parportreport.sh 1 > report.txt

For it to work the parallel port has to be recognized in ioports. So, for now, it won't work with Sunix cards (unless you force it to be recognized)

The rar file also includes my most up to date parallel port "utilities bundle".

choose an unassigned gcode number and use a remap to fold those 3 commands into one.

This is a dual parallel port card.

Model: Novacomm PLA4
Chipset: Moschip MCS9815CV
Interface: PCIModes: PCSPP, TRISTATE, EPP
Supports X Mode: YES (in PS/2 Mode)

A detailed report is attached (following Rob's suggestion)

I updated the DIR and STEP settings after suggested and cross reference the old files. All the motors work normal. Previously the the machine showed up as XYZ and now it shows up 0,1,2,3 in LinuxCNC. The new file formatted to XYYZ config. Not a huge deal if it works like that, but would be nice if I could get 1 and 2 (Y-Axis) to appear as one again.

I'm having a problem with the Y homing currently. The Y hits the limit switch and continues trying to move forward. The numbers in CNC continue to go up -1, -2, -3...-10.

Z-Axis home normal. The X-Axis Hits the switch and doesn't back off that I can tell, but doesn't trip that it's at the limit, so maybe fine. I have alter the home settings to try to fix the issue of the Y, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Hi, 
Right now, i'm trying to control a 6-dof robot by linuxcnc, I found kinematic-switch function for moving joints from Gcode.I guess I need to make 3 Gcode commands to just do one task like:
1st-cmd: Use M code command to switch to nontrivial kin
2nd-cmd: use G code command to move joint
3rd-cmd: Use Mcode command to switch back to trivial kin
Yes, it can do my job but it complicated and not friendly. has anyone tried to merge these commands to a single one or any other way to do something similar 

50:1 worked well you can use the THCAD10 without any modification, 
Some good practices are:
-Place THCAD10 as close as possible to the Plasma power supply.
-Use a shield cable and connect the shield to GND on one side only.
-Use a ferrite bead on the control side to reduce induced noise 
 

Probably doable if there is protocol documentation.

It is digital sl2-100 not xy2-100

If it's a digital XY2-100 interface, there's a hostmot2 driver

@Endian,

I am not ready with the .iso, but you can try this archive. Unpack it where you want.
Then : ./install.sh

I didn't test it on a fresh .iso so i can not confirm it works straight away.
After installing goto : ~/linuxcnc/cmake/configs and do : ./run_axis_9

At your own risk:

Hello.
Knows anyone something about driving sl2-100 galvo scanner ?

Hi,

When I edited qtaxis.ui I found the new functions I added to the handler file in "signal editing  / slot " panel. Now I add another function to the handler file and I don't recall what I need to do to find it in "signal editing  / slot " panel... I know I could edit manually the ui file and that's work, but I prefer having it there.
Thanks.
