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!
 

Yup, already tried raising that one as well, unfortunately it didn't help.

There is also the [TRAJ] section with speed limits
MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY = 25.00
so raise that to probably 100 as in the display section.

From your error report
Linux parallel port 0 not found
But i have no idea what should be instead of it for RPI as i do not use them.

Hey, guys.
I've been trying to get my feedrate above 1500 and can't seem to accomplish that. I've gone through the accel and velocity tests in pcncconf and found the numbers that work with my machine. I can jog at high feedrates, but any jobs or mdi commands cap me at a lovely 1500 feedrate. Can somebody look over my ini and tell me what line I've missed? Is it a Qtdragon setting?
Thanks in advance

Realizing now I might have misinterpreted the above posts as meaning a useable version was available.
If that's not the case I'm curious how long it will be till it might be ready?
Not trying to rush things if it's not done, just trying to get a gauge on ETA after realizing maybe it's not already in the repo or ready for release.

So the answer is 

5.2.1 Initialization parameters
Set P02-31 to 1 to initialize the drive parameters, and the drive needs to be restarted after the setting is completed.

P02.31
0: No operation 1: Restore factory values (except P00/P01 group) 2: Clear fault records

So NO that does not tune the drive.
