General Mach Discussion / weird parallel port issue
« on: May 31, 2012, 12:25:21 AM »
Hi all-

I have figured most of the bugs out with lots of help-  THANKS.

Here is the latest one.  I can deal with it, but it is a pain.

I am using two parallel ports.  One is on the mother board and the other is on a add on slot.

I have it configured correctly in mach, and everything works as it should.  I made sure I saved everything.

I can close out Mach and restart the computer.  Open the ports and pins page and everything is like it is supposed to be---except the second parallel port is not working.

All I have to do is the save the address as a bogus address, close ports and pins, open ports and pins, then change the address back to the correct address.  Then save


everything works correctly then.


Any Ideas???

Ian-  I figured it out

I was using the wrong port and pin address.   Once I got a light working on the correct port and pin, I new I had something wrong.

Thanks for all the help

HimyKabibble-  I had to keep my speed up because I am using 30 to 1 gearboxes.  It slowed my rapids down some, but I can live with it

I had the same problem, and Hood set me straight.  Lower your Kernel speed.  I dropped to 60KHz, and all is better

Thanks  again Hood!

Hood-

So far so good!   I have run the table hard for two days, and nothing has happened.   I have even left the computer on all day.   In the past, if I left the computer alone for two hours or so, I would have to reboot.

I am still working on the second parallel port. 

Thanks for the help

Hope that helps

Hood-

I changed it to 45KHz and the Time to Int is still right around 7 uS.   I don't think I can go much lower, because I am using 30 to 1 gearboxes.   I have most everything disabled on this computer-- no virus scan and stuff like that

Hood-

The computer is a intel pentium 3.00 with 2.0 gig of ram.  the time in int is +7.1, but this number jumps between 6.5 to 7.5 ish.    The kernel speed is set at 60,000.


Thanks

bad news-

Went to the shop, powered everything down, and back up.  The computer is back to randomly locking up with Mach :(


this is a Dell Optaplex 530 I think.  I read someplace that dell optaplex and Mach don't play well together.
