Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: can get my Bridgeport to move

odowdpat,

It most likely is the charge pump circuit. Does the out-4 LED come on.
Out-4 needs to come on if you are using the XML file from my web page.

You can change jumper JMP3 which is close to the transformer. Setting it to
the N1 side will bypass the charge pump.
