Hi everyone.

A little background:

I bought my VM16 as a non-working machine. All 4 of the Servo Dynamics servo boards were damaged and/or blown up. So I sent them off the Servo Dynamics for repair. Of course they can't find them but that's a another story. Heck, I don't even know if they are repairable.

Anyways, since I'm waiting for them I figured I'd try to check out other aspects of the machine. See my other post regarding getting the tool carousel to work.

Next question: I'd like to see if the spindle works ok. Of course the machine won't allow any MDI or hardware functions until it's homed and you can't home it without servo drives. Is there a way to bypass the servo E-stop warning so I can power up the spindle and see if it even works?

Thanks,
Michael
