Mach3 slave axis not homing

[dazp1976]

The control board will be a USB Mach3 5 axis with separate stepper drivers. The THC lifter has it's own DC motor and is self controlling.

Have you bought anything yet?
One thing I'll say is I would steer clear of usb controllers. Use a basic parallel one or go ethernet.
Usb can be an arse with noise issues. I've seen plenty of folk have problems.

Why do you think parallel was there for years, then usb started coming out and almost immediately 'proper' manufacturers were ditching it for ethernet.
Hmmmmm....

dazp1976 thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately I have already bought a USB board, still waiting for it to arrive.
I have however got a 3 axis parallel board that I bought some years ago and never used it.
Being as I only want to use X, Y and A axis, maybe I can use it and make the boards Z be the A?? Not sure how to do that.
Also not sure how to relate that to the settings in Mach3 as well.
