BDI with DRO/Encoder Board

To All:

We have put together a Shoptask El Dorado with Camtronics Servos, Power Supply and DRO board. The servos are being driven by Geko 320's. We have installed the BDI and have been trying to get EMC functioning with smdromod driving the motors. Our initial attempt failed due to erros in smdromod. I have downloaded from sourceforge dro.c, dro.h and extsmdromod.c and compiled them (along with some changes to handle our home and limit switch setup). We can only get X and Y to work. The Z axis does not function properly. It seems like the feedback information from the DRO board is not getting through. When the Z axis is jogged we get and error saying that it can't follow (I can't remember exactly). Any suggestions?

PS
I want to thank the person(s) that put together BDI. I tried to do the hard way and boy was that mistake!
