Got the safety circuit ready today with e-stop and reset, it sends the a ready signal to the Ek1100. 

The green and blue push bottoms are a latching start circuit that drives a relay, it shorts the power bottom on the pc and gives power to the Ek1100.

Basic Mill Config Using hal_gpio

forum.linuxcnc.org/media/kunena/attachme...8/my-mill-config.zip
Link to driver:
linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/drivers/hal_gpio.html

Note unless SPI is disabled in /boot/broadcom/config.txt GPIO07 & GPIO08 can not be used.

Sorry I'm not going to be gentle. Users need to be told. I'll assume you aren't a child.

Yeah Tommy's right. RPi's don't have a parallel port. I'm not too sure where you got the idea Rapsberry Pis have one. The error report is pretty verbose in reporting what is wrong.

Arduino seems to be a lot of cut & pasting other people's code.

Once again this is a situation where users don't read the docs and just jump in head first without doing any research.

This is the driver you need to use. Please read this. And take the time to read the documentation, the devs put a lot of effort into this, please take the time to read them.

Beware that unless SPI is not disabled in /boot/broadcom/config.txt you wont be able to use GPIO07 & GPIO08.

Thanks I'll get this installed tonight!
