Thanks Mick I did find the folder for the macros was in public documents and Layout 6 was there with the macros library so made a new folder, unzipped a fresh copy of the files and dragged and dropped them in the folder and a fresh reboot of SL6 worked a treat.

Mate I only been using using win 10 for the last few months and finding my way around has been fun but I am getting there.

So put both macros on a blank board and saved it as a macros so when the time comes to move it on a design it goes as one.

Now what I'm thinking this board can be the brains for my CNC where a VGA screen can show the workings and a 2040 can use say a 9" LCD touch screen for the manual control.

I mean why use a encoder when the pico can just count the steps for position, so may say due to backlash but my CNC uses ball screws so no backlash at all.

I do have another project underway which is all fun where I'm splitting water so I can make a hydrogen/oxy torch as over 3,000C looks like fun to play with. I will make a thread in the other forum so you can see my travels too.
