The PC runs ok now... Now the next issue, the Chinese machine vendor only included setup instructions for MACH3

Please help me if I made an error here:

LinuxCNC Screen #1
I just change to mm, and not edit anything else (15000 seems well above my Jitter)

LinuxCNC Screen #2
Pass

LinuxCNC Screen #3
#1 ESTOP Out
#2 X Step
#3 X Dir
#5 Y Step
#6 Y Dir
#8 Z Step
#9 Z Dir
#13 ESTOP in

(pretty clear so far, now...)

#4 enable1
#7 enable2
#17 enable3

What is that in LinuxCNC?

...and the next picture...

Update:
(I found it! I used 3 times "Amplifier Enable")

However, the X-Axis didn't work. When I interchange X and Y then X runs fine. After inverting #4 (Amplifier Enable) it was OK.

I can start running some sample programs now..

So, one of the enable lines on the board needed to be inverted? No wonder people have problems with those boards if they are that random.

Just to be clear, do you have the system working OK now?
