The outputs are enabled and when i load machmill and use pp port everything works.  Load mach Smooth stepper the signals for the motors and my inputs are all working but my outputs are ignored,, I will try your written macros tommarrow when i get back to the shop.. Ill post my results to let you know.

 thanks for you help Hood, have a good night

Yes P is the output being used but Brian didn't write these macros,, they are installed with mach3.

Could you write me a macro command to turn on an output #1 and to turn off an output #1 that the SS would understand.  If it works I will modify my G codes. And hopefully understand better how macros are written and write some for the rest of the outputs

OK I looked at both SS profile and Mill profile M10 and M11 commands in the VB editor,   and they are exactly the same  in both profiles, I dont understand how they work but they are the same

I have no custom macros, all the commands IE outputs on Outputs off I got of your wiki?  My system works ok with PP port exept for the loss of some steps here and there,, that being the reason I am trying out a SS
