nice work .

if you can emulate the Switches by using optocoupler Outputs, the rest can be done in M3,M4 and M5 macro
easily. if you are usin Mach3 i can help if Mach4 sorry not.

accordind to your Picture lets try to get the y-axis running.

Config -> Port's/Pin's -> Motor Outputs -> y-axis
step pin->5
dir pin ->4
both active low enabled

CW8060
SW1->0
SW2->1
SW3->1
SW4->1
SW5 to SW8 all 0

assuming you want to run your machine in imperial Units and the Motor should make 1 rev/inch
Config > Motor Tuning -> Y-axis
step's per -> 400
velocity -> 80
acceleration -> 40
don't Forget to press the SAVE AXIS SETTINGS button

in this configuration you should be able to run the Motor in jog mode.

General Mach Discussion would have been a better place for this thread.

anyhow some more Information about your System would be helpful.
like:
-what OS are you running
-what motion controller are you using
-what stepper Controller
-witch Mach Version
-how are the Motor connected to your axis
-Pictures Pictures Pictures

with the information provided, it will get realy hard to help without using a magic glasball.

AWG22 sounds very small for Motor cable, there is no reason why not replacing them to bigger ones.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: New people welcome !! Come in here and introduce your self!

Good morning
(I'm a newbie)
I know this is not a forum for Chinese cnc's. I just can not find help anywhere.
My CNC is a DIY machine made from imported(China) parts and locally sourced parts.
Normally i love to solve my own problems but sometime you hit the roadblock.
MPG that i purchased overseas works fine to some extend (handwheel) works but all the selectors (axis)are dead.
Wiring checked and there should be no problem, but i'm not sure if Mach3 needs extra settings beside MPG enabled(after all it works or not )
Configuration is as follow.
Table size 480mmx480mm (not too big more like a router)
Controller board STB4100 (USB)
Software: Mach3 rev.3.041
Stepper motor boards: TB6600
MPG: Unknown make (Chinese)
I would appreciate if someone could point me to the topic that covers this kind of configuration.
Thank you,

welcome to the Forum. PLS post your Problem in the main Mach3 Forum, not in the New People welcome thread.

1. open Main Menue -> Operator -> VB Script Editor

2. copy/paste the complete code into the Editor

3. use  >|| button to excecute code line by line

4. see what code is doing

- I keep getting M07 for a code in my Gcode and spindle wont initiate when Gcode begins, I have to manually engage the spindle through Mach 4.

M03 is normaly used to turn the Spindle on. is there any M03 command at the beginning of yout g-code?

- I ran Avid's squaring and tramming design on their site and when running 1/4" collet and end mill for the pins to be cut out and measured its right on at 21-1/2" diagonally yet measurements are off by 1/4" along the x and y axis, then when running the tram with a 1/2" collet and 2 fluted straight bit, it runs to the true dimensions of the piece in aspire, not the pins that were drilled.
- My dimension cuts are off by 1/4" an have checked all offsets and there aren't any.

thaz Sound like you have selected the wrong tool Diameter in aspire for Generation g-code.
