What I am looking to do is have turbocnc turn on my drives when it loads and shut them off when it turns off.
What I would do is hook up a relay that is controlled by my parallel port that controlls the power supply hooked up to my geckos.
So basicly I turn on the computer, as soon as turbocnc loads it switches the pins to high and as soon as it closes it switches it off.
I am not sure if that is the same as drive enable and disable but I doubt it, I want to see it turn on and be ready to go.
This is just one extra switch I dont want to have to put on here, and it would be quite nice.
Let me know soon so I can get on with building my enclosure! I hope Im done drilling and cutting holes in it! just asembling it now!
Pics will be in the gallery when I finish
