Thanks for the  info Okay how do you know what numbers you set your step and direction at, the board came with no info? The pin numbers are just a guess I went on line to maybe get the information on the controller there are different TB6560 boards with different settings is there a common setting?

In diagnostics there's a 25 pin DB25 shouldn't there be lights that indicate if the correct pins are working? I'm worry more about the xyz axis moving what good are the limits if you have no movement limits are not required movement is.
