General Mach Discussion / Re: PCI port card addressing woes

Full testing showed that the outputs worked but not the inputs. The first machine does have an E-Stop but it's wired make to stop not the break to stop, so no input still allowed the machine to run.
Going to get one of the MosChip ones.

We got one of these cards and didn't get the resource tab in the device manager but I did see a Multi IO device being installed so had a look at that and then entered the IO value 0x9008 (might be different) into Mach3 and bingo the motors and spindle now work shame it's not got a working e-stop but JS don't need one of them so the machine still hasn't got one wired up right.

Setup is a brand new Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Edition P2411 Sempron 3800 from ebuyer and a Startech Economy PCI Parallel Card with windows XP Pro. Will find out later what it's like on the machine and post the results.

It's in the mach code now. Just been playing with buttons and having to wait for them to update before zeroing them again using a Sleep(500) line.

Mach Screens / New Button for goto zero

After listening to my father go on about the 'Goto Z' button being confusing I made a new one that says what it means.
