Converting a X2 clone to CNC

[Shawn]

I thought the issue with my steppers always holding power might be related to the 5v jumper I used to the EN connection? I added a switch so I could turn this off and while it does prevent me from moving the stepper when turned off they are still holding power. I doubt I will ever use this machine in manual mode but it's bugging me a bit and I would like to get it sorted. It doesn't matter if Mach3 is running or not, as long as the main 36vdc power supply is turned on the steppers are holding their position? I attached a photo of the diagnostics screen Tom, hopefully that helps shed some light.



Cheers
