The motor will not jog. The X axis on screen position does change, but the motor is not responding.

I also notice you have Enable 1 set for port 1 and Pin 0, do you need the enable for your drives if so then you will have to set the correct pin.
Also did you try changing the Dir/step active state like chip suggested earlier?

Hi, DirtyBird
Give this XML a try, Turned on Jog On/Off, (Hood), Changed Dir/step LowActive state to "Checked".
Hope this gets It, Chip

Well. I figured out what the problem was. The pulse lengths for the Step and Directions were too low. The stepper driver board is opto-isolated, so I guess that the pulses need to be longer to get the signals to the motors. Everything is working fine now!! Is there a way to make the pulses longer than 25 us??
Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions on this sticky situation!! GO MACH3!

Have you tried Sherline mode? I am sure this is meant for drives that need increased pulse time.
