I've never heard of a scope like that so no
And again, a board that works, a good one

I have no idea what would be a good one, nor the first idea on how to install it, or if it is even compatible with this control box
Machine building I know nothing about

I just know how to make parts

ok what i did is i installed 066 version

a bit better now, installed, run drive check
theres a pulse frequency on diagnostics, same as kernel speed

and when i jog the numbers move in mach but not the machine

i input the numbers from the manual, but nothing, since the manual inupt is in mm i wonder if those motor number are supposed to be in mm or inches, or if it matters
also when i push the estop button on the controller, it does not alarm in mach
so were making some progress
