Thanks for your help Andy. I got it working!!
I first had to set an input pin for the estop in the 'ports and pins - inputs' menu in Mach3 as you said. I just set it to port 1 pin 1, which is otherwise unused. Then it let me get on with other setting up.
I put my same old settings into the Mach3 'output pins' menu for motors and hey presto I got motion :)
I then set up the things like slave axis, homing and motor tuning as usual.
Job done!
It may be my imagination but I think it actually does sound smoother in motion.
We'll see how it runs on a job tomorrow.Last edited by Tenson; 12-10-2015 at 10:38 PM.
