Hi:
It looks from the code liek th eMaxNC will use only port 1 unless port 1 is turned off. It's pins are set to port1 and set pins, so there is no way to switch them. (I could be wrong, its complex code, but it looks that way..). MaxNC wave drive was a bit of a kludge to make work at all, no other controller seems to use WaveDrive. (well, very few anyway..).
So I suspect youll have to keep the wavedrive only on port 1.
Thanks,
Art

Subject: [mach1mach2cnc] port #2
Art, I have a mill that works fine on port #1. I am trying to setup a
lathe that requires wave drive and it also works fine on port #1. I
am trying to change either to port #2 so that I don't need a db25
switch. It seems like I can't change the wave drive lathe to port #2
or at least I can't find a way to designate the port. Changing the
mill to port #2 that uses a card with an address of b400 and b800
doesn't work. The port resets when I make a change in device manager
so it looks like the system recognizes it (I hear the motors go clunk)
but I can't get any output. I remembered to also change the enable
signals to port 2 also.
Any hints? Bhy the way, the search engine seems to be down. I keep
getting a message that my search returned more than 5000 hits. Must
be a yahoo problem...
