Thanks everybody for all the information.
Some more questions, should I be turning things on in any particular sequence? Meaning should I be turning the controller on before the PC or vice versa, should I be turning the controller on with the e-stop push in?
My problem at the moment is that if I have the charge pump switched on and the switches set in Mach3 as recommended by Geko I get a red error light, if I switch the charge pump off on the Geko I get a green light. However, I can toggle the arrow keys and see movement on the DRO's, but nothing happens at the stepper motors, where should I be doing or where should looking to prevent the red error light from coming on, what haven’t I done?
I did load the setup file from Geko but there where too many things included in that file that I am not using at this stage, so I made my own settings to Mach3 as required, even so I still can’t get any movement out of the steppers.
