sorry but neither do i.
you get NO movement at all ?
mine would twitch when they were being engaged and i try to make a move.
if they're not doing that then i think it's your other board.

p.s. is the sherline board grounded ?

i'm trying to get a dro to count. below works
in editor but not in the file where i have M1001.
skips right over. i have the file saved in
C:\Mach3\macros\MyMill\M1001.m1s
can't understand why it works in editor but not
in the file.
Thanks

' counts M1001  resets M1002
DRO = GetUserDRO(1011)
SetUserDRO(1011 , (DRO + 1))

apparently i was wrong. it does work while axis is moving.
but it doesn't change once movement stops/starts.
looks like i can only do this with a button, don't want.
is it possible to use a user ticker in the brain ? i couldn't
see how.
Thanks

elpablito,
as you said.g83 is a canned cycle and mcodes don't work well in them.

allen, there's a standard led for pause/feedhold. OEM-code 80
