Peter,
I'm really glad you hardware guys are around developing newer,
better, faster, stronger stuff for us. I did a minor in hardware when
studying for my Comp Sci degree, and have fiddled with electronics on
and off for a good many years, even being an avionics maintenance tech
in the

Not exactly a KBIC board but very very similar. I looked at the manual
online and all the inputs to board corresponded to my pcb. But unlike

It appears that if a gcode program is stopped in the middle, some
offsets from further down the program are being applied. I ran the test
program below and stopped it during execution of line 7 (the G1 line).
After this, when doing MDI movement or restarting the program, the G54

Hi,
I'm quite new to emc but not tot cnc in general.
