Hi Hood,
Thanks for your quick response. I too thought the microsteps were different. They were all the same. After days of frustration and going over everything, I finally tried an inexpensive breakout board I had laying around and it works beautifully. The 6 axis A145A B/O with three relays didnt want to cooperate with the slave. I tried wiring the slave to alternate ports too and the problem followed. I finally got the X and slave in sync and follow each other. Now I just have to figure out how to turn on the plasma torch with an output. Im hoping the output will turn on a solid state relay for the plasma and router. Thanks again for all your help. This forum is a great resource. Thanks again for your input.
Cheers!
