Hi,
the Pins Config in the ESS plugin tab designates the ESS pins....not the C11 pins.
The ESS pins follow the traditional parallel port numbering, at least port 1.
Thus:
Port 1 Pin 1 =output
Port 1 Pin 2=output etc.
See the attached pic, it tells you whether an ESS pin is an input or an output.
You can see in my example I assigned port1pin2 as Xstep and port1pin3 as Xdir. Note the ESS plugin allows aliases
like Xstep to help demystify the process.
Pins 10,11 and 13 are all inputs, they are not, nor I expect could ever have been, 'signal lines to drive your motors'....
I suspect they were in fact Home inputs.
Either way you not get away with that rubbish now. Your motor signals are ALL ESS outputs, thus are restricted
(in port 1 at least) to 1-9,14,16 and 17.
This I took from the C11 manual:
• Output pins 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 14, 16 and 17.
• Input pins 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15.
• Input and output pins close to ground or +5vdc connections
So the C11 follows exactly the same pin numbering and signal direction (in or out) as the ESS. If you hook a ribbon to
db25 cable from the ESS port 1 to the db25 input of the C11 then pin2 of the C11 will be Xstep and pin3 will be Xdir.
