Sounds like the number of steps are not setup correctly for the board? check the jumpers on the board against what you have set in Mach3.

hiya

thanks - and i think thats the problem in having - i know what the settings are from this board - but unsure what the dip setting are from the old red board as no documentation with it to say what its set at - i have the red board here but cannot find anything on the net to show me what the red boards set at - so i can then copy its settings onto the blue board and fingers crossed it should work

Karl just sent you a couple of PM's with the details for setting the dip switches.

If you can't find them then use the set steps per feature found in the settings tab just above reset.

Follow what it tells you and it will set the steps per for you.

hi - think if sorted it out - wont know until the morning - but i think the dips on the old red board had a micro step of 1/8 and ive had the new board on 1 - cannot find much tho on the red tb65603vs board - but think thats what the problem is

many thanks tho for your input
