had a look to the BOB shematic, i think this only can happen, if USB is not connected or something is wrong with the 5V of the USB supply.

just for crosscheck, try to measure the voltage without connected stepper controller.

ok then first check will be the port adress of the your parallel port.

have a look in Mache at Config->Ports&Pins->Port#1 it is normaly 0x378

the check in your System configuration that port adress is matching.

a plugin is allways needed if the control box is not connected via parallel port,
for example usb or Ethernet.

Don't know witch controlbox you are using, but normaly if it is external Motion controler a specific pulgin is needed.

if you do not have a backup of your "old" PC specially Mach3 Folder you will have to "reanimate" your old HDD

you will Need:
plugin -> C:\Mach3\plugin
licence -> C:\Mach3\Mach1Lic.dat
profile-> C:\Mach3\ your Profile Name.xml
probably custom macros -> C:\Mach3\macros\ your Profile Name \*.m1s

Servus,

es kommt eigentlich nur darauf an, welches Pulley als current pulley selektiert ist.

z.B. Pulley 4  Min 0 Max 4000, dann wird bei einem S>4000 diese Meldung ausgegeben.

einfach ein Pulley auswählen/einstellen das als Max deine Maximale Drehzahl hat.

to call a macro within a macro is a nogo in Mach3, but you can put your code into a g-Code file witch should work.

your userled's 1050 and upward look like a tool present Switch, witch can be also controlled in M6 and M50,

or like Graham decided use Sub's in your script.

you can also have a look at:

https://www.machsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Mach3_V3.x_Macro_Prog_Ref.pdf

for the #Expand functionality, then you can Keep your sub's in a common file.
