Hi again. Hood, you say you tried the Mach 3 version I am using (lock-down) with a Smoothstepper. I assume you have a hardwired e-stop. I would just like to use the screen e-stop/reset for now. In disabling e-stop in config. ports and pins/input, of course I can't use the screen stop. And besides, even though I can input in MDI now, just now, as I was about to, the axis jumped to an arbitrary place which to me sounds like I am still getting some kind of nonsense happening in the MDI window.
Can you tell me, in working with the Mach I am working with and Smoothstepper that you tried, how was the e-stop configured? Did you just use my XML?
