SmoothStepper USB / Re: Ess and parallel port

« on: August 19, 2012, 09:27:58 AM »

hi, jeff.

no i am not using all three ports on the ess. but the ess is build in to the machines cabinet and my mpg is working on the second parallel port of my computer. it just would save me a lot of work if i could get the second parallel port working when i use the ESS

tnx.

SmoothStepper USB / Ess and parallel port

« on: August 18, 2012, 04:14:23 PM »

Hi,

I use the ESS with mach3 and it works great. If you use the smoothstepper the parallelports are signed out. Is it possible to use the ess simultaneously with the parallel port. The reason i ask is that i would like to,use the 2nd parallel port on my computer for my pendant?

Tnx tantan

General Mach Discussion / disable output

« on: August 17, 2012, 03:42:37 AM »

hi,

i want to disable/enable my spindle in mach to prevent the spindle from running from gcode or button on the machscreen. is there a way (oem code) to disable/enable the output i use to start the spindle. i allready looked in the oemlist but i could not find any, just to disable the axis.

tnx
