That is what I meant to send...

It jogs, runs the spindle(although the encoder doesn't match the s code), but it won't perform a program. I get a random communications error. I'm running the supplied shielded ethernet cable from Centroid.

And the encoder feedback for the spindle doesn't match the S command rpm...

That was exactly the problem...thank you. NOW, while I can jog both axis and get the spindle running, it won't run any lines... I get a communications error IIRC.

Forced off? How?

I swear, I wired it up EXACTLY like the GS20 schematic says...yes, I know it's obsolete. It worked...kind of, by forcing(before I followed the schematics) the relays..it never worked with the VCP. Everything I seem to do turns to poison...

Yes, it's 4. I'll be home in a few hours.. I truly appreciate the help.. thank you

For the enable indicator LEDs, I see three reds and one green. Red indicates an axis that is not enabled; green indicates an axis that is enabled. What "stays yellow"? When Acorn enables an axis, it pulls the enable pin down, from whatever the drive held it at, to approximately 0VDC. What...

Without this report we are just guessing. Besides lack of resistors, what's different from the schematic? Someone bashed me for running 2...
