Hi Ronnie,
  Try adding G21 at the beginning of the g code.
I say this because I opened your tap file on me cnc software and the units are in inches. Your machine is mm.

Hi Ronnie,
   Looking at your tap file the x and y moves are in the thousands of a inch. so yea the moves will be very small.

 Hi Ronnie,

   Here is the link to mach3 downloads. https://www.machsupport.com/ftp/Mach3/just scroll down until you see  that ends with .062 and download. The machine with the bad breakout board is it a usb connection? if so this is probably what it has https://buildyourcnc.com/Item/electronicsAndMotors-electronic-component-breakout-Mach3-USB-Board

Hi Ronnie,
 I also have a 6040. It came with that same version. .062 was the last best version. I would update to this version.

 you will most likely have to recalibrate the axis. also how did you go about changing the units? there is a right way and a wrong way.

 Hi John,
  I have one similar to that one I got from https://topcom.cz/products/dig3d/dig3dlpm/
 Depending on how your probe input works you will need either a NPN or a PNP type. they work very well.
