    EMC - Estop & Active high and low

    hi... i am struggling to get my estop configured properly...

    in the manual it says that the code to enable estop is..
    linkpp parport.0.pin-01-in iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in

    and the code to enable an active low is -invert

    i cant get my estop pin inverted, no matter where i place the -invert...

    please help

    I think you do this

    linkpp parport.0.pin-01-in iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in
    setp parport.0.pin-01-in-invert 1

    i can get emc to not give an error using that exact code you specified.. namely
    setp parport.0.pin-01-in-invert 1

    however, my Estop is on Pin10... when i change this code to pin 10, it gives an error...

    what is the exact errror?

    should be
    linkpp parport.0.pin-10-in iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in
    setp parport.0.pin-10-in-invert 1

    so - on the irc chat I found out I was wrong.

    Inputs have 2 pins already.

    parport.0.pin-10-in
    and
    parport.0.pin-10-in-not

    so the correct line is
    linkpp parport.0.pin-10-in-not iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in

    you don't need the setp line - as that is only for outputs.

    sorry about that. I assumed something I should not have
