    As I have said before you need to provide more info.
    Pictures, what switches like homing etc you have and the actual problem you are having all would help.

    Then the good people on here may be able to help.

    I don't have any limit switches or home switches on yet just setting up at the minute. Kernal speed is at 25k velocity is 600 and acceleration is 200. Step pulse 5 and dir pulse 5. I have A slaved with Y in Mach also A is set to linear in general configuration. Picture below is of the Bob which I am using.

    I still don't understand what you are actually asking. Post some pictures up of the machine. If you are trying to slave you will need homing switches and setting up in Mach3 correctly.
