    Hi guys. New to the forum. Built my CNC in 2017 been ok since. Just upgraded PC to Win10 so needed USBBOB. Things to watch out for upgrading, auto slaving of Y and A did not copy across to new Mach3 setup. Also you need to use port 3 for the inputs or the BOB will not see the limit switches, probe, etc. Biggest issue for me is only pins 2 & 3 for limits. Various advise online about wiring series or parallel. Tried both. Cant get the cnc past the auto level. I only have one limit for Y at the front, presume you need 2 to auto level. I dont understand how the machine would know which side of the bed to level if the limits are on the same pin. Can the Homing Auto level be turned off as i dont really need it. Regards Fogster101
