[Bdi4emc-help] 4.49 probable pinout problem

[Pierpaolo Garofalo]

Hi,
this is the hardware pinout as configured on my
machine:

Par_Port_Number
1 <------------------ 0x378
Step_Mx_pin_2to9 <------ BASE
2 <------------------ second pin parallel 25pin port
Dir_Mx_pin_2to9
3 <------------------ third pin ...
Step_My_pin_2to9
6 <------------------ sixth
Dir_My_pin_2to9
7 <------------------ etc
Step_Mz_pin_2to9
4
Dir_Mz_pin_2to9
5
Mx_enable_pin_1_14_16_17 <------- CONTROL
16
My_enable_pin_1_14_16_17
1
Mz_enable_pin_1_14_16_17
14
oen
1 <----------------- enable -> up

Could you please make an example according to my
setup?


I'll try and follow your advise.

Thanks,
