General Mach Discussion / Re: MACH3 MachTurn not picking up "Index" on mini lathe

Hi,
Kool, there was a period of some years where CNCDrive products did not support lathe threading at all (Mach3/4 or UCCCNC).
Clearly this situation has improved somewhat.
Given that the UC100 does support threading then John's guess about the UC100/BoB not recognising the pulse input is very likely correct.
If you can get the UC100 to signal Mach the exact spindle speed then lathe threading probably follows easily.
