got mine ESS from the latter

but note you will still need a BOB or two maybe three as the ESS has three PP 26 pin headers to connect to the BOB

and to qualify my info I did have a Far Eastern motion controller but I built a 3d probe it got smashed researched the problem put it in the square black thing that sits outside the house got the ESS rewired the mill ( 4 axis ) to get rid of the hidden resistors that they had put in the wiring now it works as it should inc. G31 G31.1 G31.2 and G31.3
so 4 axis and 9 proximity limit switches completes the mill

both are ok to deal with but disclaimer I am only a customer and have no ties with either

bet you have a Far Eastern USB board installed not setting the 2002 pound var is typical ie they do not work for probing in the 99.99% of them

IMHO get a smooth stepper USB if you must but Ethernet is better

have you installed drivers for the usb box in windows
have you put the correct plugin in the mach4 directory
have you then selected that plugin in the mach4 config
have you then configured the plugin in the plugin

one big question is your box/control control compatible with mach 4 or is it a manufacture program to control the unit
bottom line is it because you want to try mach4

note a reboot windows  is recommended between each step ( by me )

if you do not select a tool in your CAM setting in aspire what happens ?

would it be possible to edit the Post Processor file to not output a M6 command then Mach4 would have nothing to do

thanks I just wondered if you were using a dev version and that may have been the cause

I have no idea as to the cause of the active estop
