It takes a couple of seconds for the velocity to ramp up on the
display before the joint 2 error pops up. No change during that time
in the Z axis position on the display.

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.
Definitely weird. I didn't think to see if the machine will jog either
via the keyboard or MPEG. I'll test that this afternoon when I get back
home from a little job I have to do this morning.
Breakout board has one light, a red one and it's lit bright as it always
is. It's a C10 board from Arturo at CNC4PC. At this point I don't
think it's hardware, but I'll check just in case.
