Hi paul40,

Unfortunately Novusun is one of the businesses listed in our Hall of Shame for Mach3 Licence violation. As a result this forum does not support assistance with any of it's products unless you are a genuine Mach3 or Mach4 license holder.

My Controller Board is Novusun NVUM (6-Axis). I need to connect a Stepper Motor with its driver on Output Pins of the NVUM (look on the Manual). Not in Axis Pins, because I already connect 6 Motors on the Axis Pins.

If you look up the G04 command you will see that it is followed by Px where x=Dwell in Seconds or Milliseconds. As an example the Gcode command line G4P3 will give a 3 second delay assuming 'G04 Dwell in ms' is unchecked in Config/ General Config.

If you lathe screen does not allow you to see the Gcode Summary then temporarily select the Mill screen (1024.set) to view.

G4Px should do the trick (Uncheck in Settings for an  x  dwell time in Seconds).

*****VIDEOS***** / Re: X axis skipping

Check all the mechanicals first, I mean thoroughly check.

Check that axis slide is not tight or binding.
Check tightness of motor / leadscrew couplings.
If belt drive, check belt and pulleys for condition and tightness.
Etc.

Your video sounds like the motor is stalling.

Try reducing the X axis Velocity and Acceleration by 50% in Motor Tuning and save the changes. If this makes a difference then check that the X axis motor is getting hot (less than 60 deg.C) if it is not then increase the current setting (in the motor driver) by one setting and see if this makes a difference.

Try those for starters and report back.

Mach3 development stopped six years ago, its so damned buggy, VB is so clunky and slow, the Modbus plugin is a nightmare....
get into Mach4.

Obviously Craig is perfectly entitled to express his own opinion on this forum but with the exception of 'development stopped six years ago' there are many of us using Mach3 who would disagree with all the other comments.
