Hood,
Thanks for the advice. After spending hours rewiring the mill I was in a hurry to test it before dinner. I had failed to connect the PP cable! That's the good news. The bad news is that one of my solder joints in a db9 connector was bad and I ended up toasting my Y-axis stepper driver:( Live and learn. I've ordered a new one and decided to replace my breakout board with an isolated one from Probotix while I'm at it.
