Nope. No switch or other cable. Only for X Y and Z

I watched the signals in X Y and Z and is working.

parport.0.pin-12-in is yellow

That shows EMC is working, however you really need to check if the signal is getting from your computer to your driver, for that you need a meter, scope or leds to test the connections at the driver.
A direction pin will go from around 5 volts in one direction and 0 in the other. If you see the say the X direction pin in hal change states there should also be a change in voltage at the driver.

Kind of..

Sherline Tech Help contact me. They are pretty sure that this a burned fuse... less for turning computer with driver box on, but due the fact that I swap cable axles with driver box on.

I have to find someone to change it once is soldered to the board, and I don't to risk it with my poor soldering skills. Due to work reasons I was able to do it until now. I think I will do it by Wednesday.

Anyway, as soon as I have it done I will let you all know.

Thanks

Paulo

Dear All

Success!! Is alive and kicking....

The problems are the fuses in deed.

Lesson Took: Always read the "Caution" stickers... :-)

Thanks for the group on helping me with that, hope from now on have "working" doubts...
