If you look at your Diag. screen do you see a Estop condition?  what stepper drivers and motion control do you use?

What kind of motion control do you use? Parallel port, USB port or ethernet?
I had that issue when I use a USB motion controller. Long runs the usb port would disconnect and my machine would stop. I have switched to a ethernet motion controller.

I'm not sure if the uc100 supports spindle input.

Sorry I don't think that board will do what you want. Here is a little info on it though.

Hi Ron,
  Your math is spot on.
I got the same as you. That will get you in the ball park. You will then have to calibrate or fine tune each axis using the axis calibration in mach3

 Ok so what is your micro stepping value? 8,16 ?
 as far as the switches of the switches are at what would be the home position. you can use limit switches for both home and limit. you just have to select it in the ports and pins settings.

Can you give us some info on your  Break out board or what ever connects the parallel port to the stepper drivers?
