    Interesting that "Modded" worked - that suggests your pulse width (somewhere in the motor tuning pages of Mach3 by memory) is less than 3uS. Try changing that to 5us for reliable operation.

    EDIT: Silent?, Nonsense - you'll appreciate silent when you replace with a digital DSP controller.

    They are all set at zero! Can I leave them for now and look at them when I go over to UUCNC?

    Your call.

    I'll tell you the behaviour if the pulse width is too low... You lose steps.
