Yup, I would say its possible.   I would try one thing at the time.  Get the board powered up and move on form there.  Just take little bites.  Next, get the estop working, then add some inputs if you are useing any, then your outputs to the drives, then your other outputs.  Is the cable your useing from you parallel port a straight thru?

I dont see how you will ever do that in a button.  The script in a button runs once for each press unless the script tells it to run in an infinate loop which is not good.  The macro pump is like a button that runs roughly 10 times a second, brains are faster than that.

Have you tried running the code with the tool path display turned off to see if it makes any difference?  You can turn off the tool path display on the diagnostics page above the reset button, tool path on/off button.

Yup Russ, I think your right.  Turning on led 58 may be the way to go.

Yup, saw that so deleted the suggestion........  

A brain monitoring an led that is on while the button is pressed setting jog to 100% and back to previous if led is off would work but think there is a button for it already.  The problem with the rapid jog in a vb button is the same as a jog button.  Vb isn't smart enough to detect on release.

Voy, I'm not sure exactly what is going on in your system but the first thing you need to do is have good results when running the driver test.  If it will give good results sometimes and not others..........  and will run fine some times and not others....  good chance they are linked.  If you can't get good results from the driver test you need to consider other hardware such as an external motion device or a differrent PC.

Have you tried running the code with the tool path display turned off to see if it makes any difference?  You can turn off the tool path display on the diagnostics page above the reset button, tool path on/off button.
