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.
