Now I'm assuming it's an issue with the charge pump signal. The terminal-block pins #10 & #12 on the bottom of the G540 are shorted to have the "input disabled" state kept at 0v. I found it on Craigslist and after confirming that the seller could load it on to my trailer I plunked down 1000 for it. It was being sold by a local machine shop for a song because it had problems with the BOSS 6 controller.

Last summer I bought a Bridgeport Series II milling machine. The only physical e-stop is connected to the power supply, and doesn't communicate with the G540. Bridgeport Series II CNC Gecko/Mach3 Conversion.

I was thinking it may be the way I have the estop configured, but I've tried a couple different combinations so far based on what I've seen in other solutions on this forum, including both inverting pin 15 & just unsetting it entirely. The stepper driver electronics consist of a DC stepper power supply, the breakout board or controller, Gecko Drives, and some miscellaneous relays needed to control things like spindle and coolant. At this point I dunno whether the 14&16 issue is due to Box 1. 14&16 did not work at all on the 1 HP DC5000 running 10.04, but they work fine and dandy on this 2 box. UPDATE: using the 2 HP DC5000 running 8.04, I reconfigured the 201 to run on pins 14&16 rather than 6&7.
