i still have not found a cause of my loss of signals, i have two BOB's and they both do the same thing. does anyone know if there would be some other reason for this to happen , like something in my pc. i have tried almost everything that i know. my 24v and 5v is there where they should be , have tried active low and active high with no change. none of the input signals respond, everything else on the BOB works.

I could understand a bad wiring connection, but the fact is i stopped on its on and i was very careful to connect it correctly. so you guys are saying this could not be anywhere else but the motion controller board. if this is true i will get a different board.

Don,t understand why a new board wouldn't work, I have checked the power,24v and 5v, all is good. can you suggest a better affordable motion control board.

it is the mach3 RNR motion control. I bought one exactly like it and none of the inputs are working. estop,limit,home. no response to the ground.
when i first got the machine and installed limit switches all worked great for about 7 or 8 months, then all of a sudden one day i went to home it
 just hit the hard stop and the e stop stopped working.
