Figured it out. Great email support from warp9td (makers of smoothstepper boards).

USB Smoothstepper does not have the firmware for THC. The FPGA is smaller than the Ethernet version and is at 99% full. The Ethernet Smoothstepper has an option in the configuration Dialog that supports THC function in the Ethernet controller only:



Of to order a Ethernet SmoothStepper.

Is this no longer available. All the links I am finding point to the download page for mach3 and there is no link for Screen4.

General Mach Discussion / No Z movement when THC is active
« on: March 28, 2015, 10:13:34 AM »
I am using a THC and the inputs are receiving the up/down and arc OK commands correctly (the thc lights in mach are lighting up) but the z axis is not moving. I set the thc limits to -.5 and 3". I can jog the axis with both the MPG and keyboard. Is there a setting I am missing? Any advice ya'll can give?

Yes sir. Screens made no difference. XML files made no difference.

With all due respect, it has never missed a beat. I actually uninstalled the screen and went with the default screen at the time I started to post my issue. I stripped everything I could from Mach and XP to narrow down the issue.

It's easy to blame a problem on something that very little understand. That is why I removed it. It was a non issue during this diagnosis.

I have been running Machmotions Ultimate Screen 2.0 since I set it up over a couple years ago now. Never has been an issue since day one. AWESOME layout!

Fixed! I ran the XP repair procedure. Ran the driver test, rebooted, and fired up Mach3. The screen did not load... Was a white screen with just the main file menus. I replaced my .xml fie and custom screen files, reinstalled flash (I got an odd error while rebooting the first time after the XP repair) and rebooted. Restarted Mach and its running like a champ again. In fact it loads really fast now. No problem loading files now.

Thanks for the help and suggestions!

Yes. Tried direct off the thumb drive, directly off the desktop, directly off the secondary drive...

I will format and reload XP, what files and folders need to be backed up?
