Thanks for posting your solution Brian98.

Which version of Mach3 are you using ?

General Mach Discussion / Re: C11G PWM control voltages go down when increasing speed in Mach3

Something to check...

The C11G-Rev.8 is intended for the use of Step/Direction signals for spindle speed control.
The C11G-Rev.9 is intended for the use of PWM signals for spindle speed control.

Which version of the C11 BoB are you actually using ?

In addition to what has already been said...

Assuming you are using the parallel port then set the Mach3 Kernel Speed to the lowest setting that enables your desired motor's Velocity to be achieved.

Try check (tick) Step Low Active for Spindle in Ports and Pins.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Using USB and Parallel Port together

Unfortunately you cannot use the parallel port with Win10.
Also, the parallel port cannot be used at the same time as your XHC USB controller.

Hi Buchanan,

Not a dumb question at all.

One thought occurs to me: last night I left the workshop in a hurry. I just flipped all the switches off on  the power board, didn't shut Mach 3 down or the computer.

It is as you suspected - Mach3 saves it's settings to the .xml file on shutdown. If the shutdown is not completed correctly Mach3 will load a previous .xml file (settings) on  next start-up.
