Hi Paul,
Just an observation regarding your last post but you should really get into the habit of getting your control software (Mach3/4) up and running before you switch on or enable your CNC machine. Literally anything could happen (characters sent, outputs switched etc.) during the computer's software start-up sequence and an out-of-control machine does not bear thinking about the possible consequences to life and limb.
(Old hands at flying RC will know what I am talking about regarding switch-on order).
Tweakie.
