It would be helpful if you post the files directly to the forum as an attachment.

If the forum is saying "unsupported file type" just change the extension to .txt

Is this better?

The error message mentions it can't connect to the mesa board - couldn't get mac address.

Thanks for the pncconf file

Ah that does make sense. Thank you. I’ll let you know how it works when I plug in the mesa

I see you didn't select a homing pin for the Z axis. That is why pncconf didn't add the sequence numbers.
I'll have to think about how to handle that better.

Once I plugged in the board it worked. I have limit switches for each axis (4 for the y, 2 for the x, and one for the z) if that changes anything. I know I have to set up a soft limit and use the switches as a hard limit (at least that’s what I think I have to do) but I’m not sure how to do any of that

I’m trying to jog the motors so that I can see if they run together, but it won’t let me jog them manually

Would it be possible to add a debounce with amount check box for switch in pncconf ?

You cannot jog synchronised joints until they are homed, then you can jog that axis.

Ok, so I have to make a soft limit and use the limit switches as a hard limit right?
