Hi Troy,
Thanks for the info. My error. I was thinking about certain USB MPGs like the PoKeys that don't work with Mach3+KFLOP.
Do you find it
responds well without any delays due to Windows/USB?

Hi Tom,
Sorry so late. I have not noticed any delays. I mainly use it for jogging axis. I did briefly have set up for cycle start,pause,stop. And zeroing DROs without any problems.
Thanks,
Troy
