Its doing same error, without motor even powered on,...now

Whats gndi? I am using pokeys, is that gndi in pokeys or ess? Right now until i get problem figured out i got pokeys unhooked, i use pokeys for jog joystick, ground going to each pokey pin to activate joy stick axis,....but as i said i unhooked it til this issue is sorted out

My motor speed controller is plugged into s different outlet, how do you filter input an outputs in mach 4,? Also im not running my speed control through mach 4, im using the speed control knob an power switch, i havent  added spindle control to mach yet,...i did notice without limit switches on it doesnt do it... i re routed my wires to limit switches but it didnt change anything

error message as soon as its starts to cut it stops an throws this error....

>>>Clearing a spurious limit hit latch event, Start logging in menu Diagnostic Logging to see more detail,....<<<<

 i tried that diagnostic logging... i belive i did... if im in right area,... an i didnt tell me anything unless im not using it right,.....i thought maby my motors are moving to fast so i turned them down... same error,  works if i cut air but the min i start cutting aluminum it throws this error,....im at a lost as what its referring too??? its like it knows it is cutting but it never lets me go any farther than the  start ofo ,               the cut, im going slow as possible but same error..?wth???

pokeys 57e, warp9 ess, mach 4

i have a arcade joystick which is only limit switches under the plastic joystick,.. one limit switch is used per each axis,...,...
   i got 4 pins, one for each axis coming out of pokeys 57e, say pin #/axis name  ( 49/ X+) ( 50 /X-)  (  51/ Y+)  (  52/ Y- ) 
then the neg coming outa pokeys daisy chains to all axis's on joystick,...once any pin hits neg it moves in that direction but once it starts moving in said direction you let joystick go back to center the axis keeps moving til you hit it  again,...
 in other words as soon as it sees neg it starts  moving  until it sees neg again...? what setting do i have wrong..? i want it to only work as long as neg is going to it an once it looses neg i want it to stop.... thats not hapenning... right now  it doesnt have to have ground to keep moving you just start it with ground then it starts  until it sees ground again then it will stop,... im guessing its a setting thats wrong or i picked the wrong way to jog in pokeys or mach,....im using jog input signals under mach4 control config. and using pokeys mapping digital input to send to mach4......

ideas as to what is wrong?
