After resetting a few times, it went  and touched off, and stopped transmitting data. Done this 3 times. The next  three times, it worked correctly. Double checked all of my connections on the Smoothstepper, but could not detect any thing loose, unplugged ribbon cable and re connected, started back up. I started Mach and checked again, When it touched plate it stopped and lost data. had to reset, the next three times it did not work.

Toad,

Have a go with Tweakies http://www.cooperman.talktalk.net/files/17.htm, copied and pasted into mach3 and has never missed a beat, just scroll down to the bottom of the page

AH the  first mention of a SmoothStepper (;-)  What you are seeing appears to be a smoothstepper problem NOT a mach3 problem. You might want to check over at teh SS forum for help on that.

Just a thought, (;-) TP

Are you using the latest SS plugin?

The people I've seen with the apparently same issue didn't have any problems when using 3.043.062.

Installed latest update of ESS Smoothstepper, seems to be working correctly now.
You are right, I needed to go with Mach ver. R2.043.062 for it to work correctly.
Thanks Ger21 and BR549
