Great to here from you Art.
Before I expound on my problem, let me say that Mach 2 is a GREAAAAATTTTT program.

Re: Where have all my steps gone?
Hi Mike:
There can be alot of reasons for losing steps. The fourth digit is not one
of them . Mach2 keeps track no matter the number of digits. If you'd like to
see 5 or 6 digits, then you need

Where have all my steps gone?
I have a "missing step" problem. No, my porch isn't missing!
I am running a router with 2000 steps per inch on x, 400 steps per inch on y.

Re: Joystick (Wingman?)
Art, I have one of the wireless USB wingman game pads with two
joysticks, lots-o-buttons and a speed slider. Do you know if anybody
has taken the time to set one of these puppies up with MACH2 ?

Re: one limit switch or two??
Bob,
Thanks, but I think what I was really asking is how many total sensors will or should I use for my setup? Including limit and home switches.
