If bypassing your board is alot of work then try disconecting your limit switches. one by one. Maybe one is giving you a false signal. Remember you were not using the 4th axis part of the board now you are.

I personaly don't use a breakout board. The circuit for adding limit switches is pretty simple. If your interested I can try to post the circuit. If you feel mor comfortable using a breakout board I'm sure either of the two you contacted will do the job for you.

OK, You need to bypass the the breakout board on the forth axis. It sounds to my there maybe something wrong with the board. I would try to connect the forth axis directly bypassing the breakout board. Leave the other three axis going through the breakout board. It is very very very difficult the isolate a noise problem. First thing you need to do is to be sure its not one of your components (breakout board, driver, cable, motor, etc,) Of course the obvious unshelled power cable running near your control wiring can be something to think about also, but your system worked fine with three axis. I say check the board.

Also, I think it would be a good idea to turn off any virus scanning during the install. Good luck.

Make sure you completly uninstall mach before you try to reinstall it. If you do the first install on the system and try to run Mach without restarting the PC you'll get the blue screen.
