Hi Chris,

Can you increase the step timing to > 12,000?

"When I was using the parallel port, the step and hold were 12000 and 3500.  The software maxes this out at 10000 for the 7i92 so I used that instead of 12000.

X axis will move, but NOT very smoothly.  Y and Z do not move at all.

All 3 axis are identical, with the exception of the length of the leadscrew (china cnc3040 machine). Same motor, same leadscrew pitch, same wiring, etc.  The motor driver is a TB6560 (not great, but works fine for my tinkering)."

After advising the chap to edit the ini file and set the step timing where he needed for his drives.

"Ok, I finally have 3 axis working smoothly.  Editing the ini file and playing with the step and hold times did the trick.

My apologies for being a little cranky, but I was working on it all last week and into the weekend and was just hitting the brick wall.  I had assumed that the PncConf was showing the true max limits (step/hold) of the card, so I didn't think there was anything else to be done."

Thanks
JT
