Parallel Port breakout boards, motherboards, and dedicated accessories / PMDX-126 Step/Dir Outputs Pinout Question
« on: October 06, 2015, 03:09:43 AM »
I was wondering if it's possible to use pins 1 & 16 as step/dir pins? I was also wondering if you can wire the e-stop to any other input other than pin 10? The reason I'm asking is because on my smaller mill I'm testing out my Mesa 6i25 card with LinuxCNC and the firmware on the mesa card uses pin 1 as Spindle Speed and pin 16 as Spindle Dir when using Step/Dir Spindle control. I plan on using my spare pmdx-126 board and my CNC4PC C6 spindle board. The firmware also has the estop as pin 15.
Thanks for all your help Bob & Steve. I really appreciate it. I finally have my big mill up and running and you guy's have provided excellent support to me when I needed it. I plan on upgrading to Mach4 in a week or so I just don't know if I should buy the PMDX-410 and use it with my PMDX-126/PMDX-107 boards or buy the PMDX-422 and PMDX-407.
