Read the latest that I sent John, I think it addresses your initial questions.
As for the motors locking up, yes they do lock up when the machine is turned on.?
Thanks,
Chuck

Chuck,
OK so Mach3 appears to run.
If you watch the status LEDs for the gas or coolant, they should change when clicking the respective button?? on/off.
Measure the corresponding pin on the printer port with the machine disconnected.? The matching pins should also toggle between high and low.
The gas / coolant should activate if they are connected on the machine.
If you are running a program, the direction pins should be switching.

An independent quick check that your controller/driver is working:
With power off, you should be able to manually turn an axel. Power on and Mach3 enabled but not running a program, try to turn the same axel.
If locked, the stepper & the driver are active.
Also, the motors should get warm.

I currently cannot get the machine to do anything. I can command the axis to move, but nothing happens even though the DRO moves. ?
I have reinstalled Mach3 and tried a different, identical controller, it was a spare, and that didn’t help.?
So I’m at a ?loss as to what is going on ?
