Oh dear . The rutex uses a parallel port pins 1 to 13 for its inputs . there is a parallel port plug on the board .  I don't see how I can change it . The rutex works if I plug it into the plug and the digi works if I plug it into the plug . but I cant get the rutex to work if I wire from the bob to the rutex . now this is very badly written .  I have it working sort of by making a cable with two plugs on one end and one on the other . It is a dogs breakfast but it works I was hoping for a better solution . thanks peter .

Peter is the bob or can the bob pass sig through pins 1 to 13 ? I need to not change these and still have the digi working . Just about reaching the end of my teather on this one . I have a parallel port in and out .I use pins 1 to 13 to run my Rutex 990 boards if I connect the two together it works the rutex .but cant get it to work through the board .I believe its jumper related .or have I got the wrong parts to make this work . I am finding the documentation confusing to say the least
