thanks Hood,
i just started building a controller using Smooth stepper and will use cnc4pc index pulse card and their C25 smooth stepper terminal board hope i can get results like you have. Just one more question, how many pulses/rev are you using from the spindle sensor?

Thanks,
Reg

Hi, thanks for the reply, picked it up today have been away.

When you say to put a 5vdc led in the circuit i assume you mean the +5v and ground on the step/direction outputs. If so i  have tried one following your suggestion and the led does not light. The led is ok.

Any other help please if possible.
Best wishes.

Hi, i`m new to this forum.
i can see you and others have been looking at the Xulifeng USB board for Mach3, any luck, i have one and have wired up set Mach as the manual but cannot get anything out of it.

I have no problems with mach the way i normally use it, but am looking for an all encompassing board.
