Please post any questions you have in their own topic,  either the General forum (probably best) or one of the specific forums.
This thread doesnt get too many people looking at it and also it is preferred if it is just kept as an introduction thread rather than a Q&A thread.

   Hi Fran
I am only new to C N C my self and my knowledge is limited but if you have not downloaded the mach 3 manual I would strongly advise you to do so.The limit switches are not the source of this problem,and you may have to check that power from the break out board is getting to the stepper motor as it may have a broken wire.or you may want to check that you have it wired correctly to that motor.
that is just about the extent of my knowledge.Hope some one else will jump in assist you
