Thats weirdsville Mark. Have you attempted to move the machines other axis's? Since z on a mill is commonly homed first to get it up the post and out of the way, maybe the x and y can still be moved from the keyboard? On a lathe, x is first to home just to get it backed out and out of the way, or at least thats how I have mine sequenced. Time to get out the scope from the sounds of this. Does the breakout board have tally led's on its outputs? They might be helpfull. If the bob doesn't, scope time. > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >-------- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's > most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
