Set ups for HobbyCNC board
Posté : ven. sept. 24, 2010 8:51 pm
I am using an old win98 Laptop by Toshiba.
It uses LPT2 not LPT1 and that is on 378
I am amazed that Jedicut figured that out
I have found NOT setting to actually select that address.
I have built and tested my HobbyCNC board on all 4 axies.
I used a Parallel port monitor program to single step for testing.
Jedicut only works FOR ME with VisualCNC.dll and
only in Manual when I set Dependence ON
Then, two motors run OR if I choose Oblique all FOUR motors run.
So the Motors DO Run but that is the extent of my limited success with Jedicut.
1. I cannot change speed by FAST or SLOW or by changing settings on the Options pages.
I have tried a zillion combinations.
2. I cannot get only ONE motor to run. Only with Dependence on, then 2 motors.
3. There does not seem to be a direction change in the manual mode
Is there a DLL specifically for HobbyCNC ?
Is there a clear set up posting or page that I can review and work from ?
Thanks for any insight or assistance

I use this Laptop on my Flatbed CNC machine.
As I am using an older OS, on an Older PC, I am severely Limited
because NONE of my other options work this machine.
