Jon, Gene, The Vref's is correct. I've checked these and for the new board version (the 4 axis) it is around 1.8V and for the old board approx 3V. What bothers me the most is that I have the problem on both the old 3 axis and the more recent 4 axis board which I guess would rule out the xylotex

Gene, The rewiring is indeed something of the past. I did just the same, had a very simple breakout with rc filtering and switching the pins to comply with the xylotex. But since the changed hal, there is no need anymore. Ha. Hope the guy measured before using this cable! I'm assuming there

Stuart, I think we have the books for your drives. I need to double check the model numbers this weekend. 33 amps is what our drives and motors are rated at for continuous stall. The fuses to the motor are 25 amp slow blow. I can probably scan them in if you would like. We got full
