SmoothStepper USB / Re: ESS HOMING ISSUE

I also had homing and just weirdness problems after I installed the ESS. I have a carriage type router with the A axis slaved with the X axis. Had all the problems that TommyD explained and several more in some of the M codes I had written.
So far every problem I have had has been fixed by adding a STOP command in the script. While troubleshooting I noticed that if I hit the stop button at the right time the homing and my M codes all worked fine. I don't know if it is the ESS not knowing when the operation is complete or if it is in Mach3.
I have no idea if it will help with the spindle problems but it may be worth a try as this stop command has fixed several other unrelated issues for me.
Add a "DoButton(3)" line to your script just for fun and see.
I am running Version R3.043.022 for Mach and plugin v10fb1 for ESS.
