    NO Don't do that.!!!!. . . . . . The Drives, BOB, have NO control over Mach3 what so ever they are effectively UNDER MACH3's control and do exactly has they are told.
    So if you are saying the GOTO Zero makes the motors work fine then you have Mach3 setup wrong. How I'm not so sure without seeing the Mach3 XML
    So either post pics of your Mach setup screens or Post the XML file your using and I can look at it directly. You'll find it in the Mach3 folder under the same name has the profile your using. ie: MachMill or if Custom profile then name you choose. (You may have to Zip it up to post or Email me directly)

    What I meant by "work fine" is that they go back to the correct position, but still having the same problem :( I'll post take pictures of the setup I got and update this post with it, plus I'll join the xml config file in a zip file and attach it here. I'll try to make good pictures so you can see the wiring and see if I've done something wrong. I've checked a couple of times though. No worries I won't buy the electronics until I am sure that those I got are dead ;) Let's figure this thing out. I'll update tomorrow morning :) I'll also make some videos if possible so you can really see what's happening again.

    Side note: So nice to see you putting some time in helping me. I will try my best to give back to the community, that lives with people like you !

    EDIT: sorry I haven't had the time to post, I'm working this week and will be back home this weekend ;)
