There are so many variants of that particular controller (including the YooCNC models) that it may be impossible to determine the correct port & pin settings without quite a lot of 'trial and error' testing.

My guess would be...

X step pin 2
X dir pin 3
Y step pin 4
Y dir pin 5
Z step pin 6
Z dir pin 7

All Step pins configured Active Low.

E-Stop configured to pin 13 (If E-Stop cannot be reset within Mach3 (Active High or Active Low) then try configuring to pin 10)

(This information is based on the YooCnc data)

I thing Greg and subsequently Andy have been working on ESS threading for some time now but Mach4 issues keep taking priority.

Hi Garand,

Welcome to the forum.

May I suggest you go back to the thread you started and post you .xml file (as requested by Rob). The guys there will get to the bottom of the problem and I am certain they will get your machine running.  ( http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,31042.msg215298.html#msg215298 )

Pleased you got it sorted Doug. 
Just shows how observant I am - didn't notice M10 / M11 were transposed.

Hi Doug,

The only thing I can see (without testing it on a machine) is that you have Output#1 configured as Spindle. This may be causing a conflict with the M10P1/M11P1 commands. Try using a different Output# for one or the other and see if that resolves the problem. Also uncheck Use WatchDogs (Config / General Config).
