Ok...I have discovered the my macro will run if I do connect my wires to the breakout board.   But as soon as I connect them the after starting the auto zero script the z axis stops and then retracts to said height of 1 inch that is in the macro.
So befuttled.  Been at this for 2 days.  Must be a wiring issue I think.  Just about ready to get a new breakout board...maybe its a grounding issue.  Very frustrating..Need Help!!!
