the numbers  move when i use the keyboard arrows

flyout screen ? the tab button? that doesnt move it either, but the numbers again move

Hi,
if the numbers move then Mach should be issuing pulses and therefore the motors move.

Do you have some means, an oscilloscope ideally, to test the outputs of your control board?

I know I've mentioned it before but have you considered getting a board that actually works?

Craig

I've never heard of a scope like that so no
And again, a board that works, a good one

I have no idea what would be a good one, nor the first idea on how to install it, or if it is even compatible with this control box
Machine building I know nothing about

I just know how to make parts
