I have them as well and am very happy.  DMM has been very helpful with any questions I have had.

Sorry but I dont come here everyday.  Mainly on weekends as I am at school during the week.  I will be going home to play with the machine tomorrow and checking your suggestions.

SmoothStepper USB / smoothstepper and dmm breakout board

I know some of you are using the smoothstepper with the dmm breakout board.

I am having trouble setting mine up.  Everything works fine with the dmm board when hooked up to the parallel port.

I have installed the smoothstepper plugin.  It keeps giving me an error "external e-stop requested" in mach.  When I change the estop to active low the error gos away but I can not jog any of the axes.

The ss light is flashing red and the green light is solid.  I have the ribbon set to port 1 and all the pins are the same setup I used with the parallel port before the smooth stepper.
