Boxford TCL 160

Only 3 flexi's so you're probably correct, no homing.
That may impact on the new software.

shows the location of the two homing sensors - the two salmon pink parts.

Would it be possible to retrofit them ?

Should be Possible, I'll check the wiring diagramm

I've been having problems with the Planet-CNC software so, seeing as I have a UC100 motion controller left over from another project, I thought I'd take the plunge and swap them over.

As I've been using the Boxford driver board, I made up a new loom, so that I needed to disturb the current wiring as little as possible.

Loaded the UC100 software, loaded the included demo of Mach3, wired up the newly purchased BoB and fired her up again.

And all that happens is all three steppers rattle and bang alarmingly. With the UC100 disconnected, there's no noise, so I don't think it's interference on the control lines.

Seems I need to do some digging in Mach3. If anyone has an XML file for Mach3 for use with the Boxford stepper electronics, it would be gratefully received.
