I am still working out the bugs on my x3, now I have a problem I didnt have before? I cant control the spindle from my laptop (mach3) I can hear a relay or something clicking in the machine but nothing happens and on the spindle control on my computer screen there is a -1 in the S-vo box? I can turn it off cnc mode and manually turn on the spindle. On the diagnostics screen when I click on the toggle button the output light comes on and I hear the clicking in the machine. Any ideas? Getting tired of chasing these problems :confused: Thanks Brian

Hi Brian,
Have you used the driver diagnostic test to see if the machine is under mach3control? I had some similar problems and usually check to be sure the machine is under Mach3 control if I have any kind of a control problems. I ended up removing a wireless LAN card and all the unnecessary files that were loading on my laptop to have better control.

The clicking is caused by a lack of pulses. Sounds like you are running on too slow of a computer or have the kernel speed to low.
