I noticed you renamed the macros M303 and M505. Was your intension to run these as M303 and M505 codes? Or should i be modifying the M3 and M5 macros?

I just did that so I could experiment without changing anything original. 303 and 505 were not used so I made them up.
Now that I know it works, I would modify the M3 and M5.

It seems like everything is good. I havent purchased the new plasma unit yet, so hopefully that doesnt cause too much interference was its up and running. Im running the optoisolation board and shielded cables so it should be good.  You guys have been a great help, i wouldnt have been able to get this running without you. My partner here that was helping me is on a service trip so i woulda been on my own without the forum. Thanks again.

No prob. I appreciate the challenge. I dont know much about it (as you can see) but find this is the best way to learn.
See Ya,

Heres a quick vid, i was using a paint marker to simulate a cutter this vid just follows a previous trial, kinda lame. But whatever. Machine is working pretty smooth, this vid was shot at 200IPM i believe.
