You can make your Xylotex board work with EMC1 by
making a hardware or software change.

To fix in software, edit emc/src/emcmot/emcmot.c and
change #undef XYLOTEX to #define XYLOTEX, then rebuild.
Otherwise, you have to rewire EMC's output to match
the Xylotex:

Emc expects step/dir pins as follows:

	pin 2 X direction
pin 3 X step
pin 4 Y direction
pin 5 Y step
pin 6 Z direction
pin 7 Z step
The xylotex expects the following:
	pin 2 X step
pin 3 X direction
pin 4 Y step
pin 5 Y direction
pin 6 Z step
pin 7 Z direction
Radio shack part #
	rs-232 serial jumper box from Radio Shack, part number 276-1403A

This will allow you to switch the pins around so the xylotex will work
with the EMC software

Solder the input side to the corrosponding output pin:

	input  / output
 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
solder 1 to 1
solder 2 to 3
solder 3 to 2
solder 4 to 5
solder 5 to 4
solder 6 to 7
solder 7 to 6
The remaining are soldered straight thru.
