Keep this one, it has pictures and less "techno babble".

I don't think I saw the pwmgen 04 enable being connected
in your hal file

Is that the i5 or Core Duo one ?

LOL

Where is it?
I did search for that and another one with "duzie" in the tittle but could not find them, strange as i did find the "duzie" one a few days back!
I can try to gather all those into one topic, and yes i am aware this would be better in the wiki, but i do not need anymore logins, have to much as is.

Will delete this post and other "non related" later as we get a chance to read them.

See at the bottom of the picture, it does support SPP, tristate and EPP.
This is the PCI-E version from the link i posted before, there is also where to find such cards.

1. do not use sudo, i do not think it is required
2. try this
mesaflash --addr 10.10.10.10 --device=ETHER --readhmid
If you did set the jumpers for 10.10.10.10 and the PC network accordingly.

Regarding Lenovo ThinkCentres this is the low profile part number for a cable 45j9598

Prices can vary from USD $10 - $20, may seem on par or a little more than a physical card, but way way easier to setup. Beware a std 2x13 to db25 cable will not work as there is the cable would seem to short a pin or some other such trickery that I just haven't looked at. what happens is that the Super IO chip, lacking a better description, is informed there is a cable attached and then enables the Parallel Port setup in the BIOS.

Below is a link to an example.

If you have a ThinkStation and want a simple solution and don't want to have a Black Mass under a full moon, unless of course you're Norwegian and you have a bent for a particular genre of Music, this is the way to go. If you are one of the above mentioned, you still can have your Black Mass and use the cable.

 

 

Whilst this is a great topic I fear that newbies will ignore it, I tried the same thing a year or 2 ago. Hopefully having your name as the OP will have more success.

BTW it works with my custom hardware running a modified version of 7c81 bitfile that communicates via EPP.

Check the Lenovo motherboard for a lot header. If there is one but the Lenovo header cable, that will enable the parallel port in the bios. Without going into too many details the cable shorts a pin on the MB enabling the parallel port.
Worked on the Lenovo tower I picked up by the side of the road.

Thank you for noticing my bonehead move. I commented it out when I was trying the pwm gen copied from pncconf with an 7i92/7i77. (I tried re-naming stuff to 7i97 unsuccessfully.)

Sadly I am still doing something wrong with the pwmgen. I no longer have AOUT4 stuck at 10v, but it is now stuck at 0v.

I have un-commented what you noted in my hal file. Changing [SPINDLE_0]SCALE to SPINDLE_0]OUTPUT_SCALE and adding OUTPUT_SCALE = 10000.0 to my ini file under spindle_0.

The pwmgen that you found was copied from my X axis and renamed for the spindle. It came from Mesa CT.

I am re-reading the pwmgen component in the docs, but I am having trouble understanding what I need to do.

Amazing, thank you Grotius!

Assuming this can be integrated in LCNC (for non-coders), the next step would be figuring out how to re-name axes or add more axis letters and define the axis type (linear or rotary).  Such as X1/X2, Y1/Y2, Z1/Z2, C1/C2, etc.

I've not programmed a Swiss lathe, but the twin-turret lathe I've fiddled with uses n1/n2 for the four duplicated axes (XYZC).

Hey everyone.

im trying to mesaflash the 7i96s_dpl for multiple encoder use. but I get consecutive errors of not finding the card. the card is connected at 10.10.10.10 and the lcnc works perfectly , 0.100 ms of ping, but i can’t identify it with mesaflash which is up to date.

any suggestions?thanks in advance. 

Hello,

I was wondering, would it be of any interest to provide Gentoo ARM64 images for a few boards with PREEMPT_RT?

I don't think I have any besides a Pi 4 stashed away somewhere, but there's quite a lot of topics and messages about people getting LinuxCNC on Raspberry Pis and whatnot. What if there was a be-all and end-all solution that had Gentoo fully ready to go for LinuxCNC? Would anyone care or want this? What device(s) has/have the most interest/popularity among LinuxCNC users?

Cheers!
