Not very often Syntetos answers this forum anymore?

I did find the schematics it appears, but it was the wrong version and said TinyG so I did not think I could use that.. But it was helpful..

I will answer myself then:
The LED is connected to the H bridge ie the same as the steppers. That is why the LED lights up when you turn the steppers by hand.
Resoldering did not help, everything was soldered ok on the board.

I replaced the 8811 with a 8818, and now it is up and running again.

I do not usually drive my ShapeOko entering commands. I create a job in Cut2D and then move the spindle with buttons in Universal GCode Sender: https://github.com/winder/Universal-G-Code-Sender

I usually set the job to start in the middle of the material and move the bit so it touches the wood, plastic or whatever I am going to mill.

Then I start to transmit the gcode fil.

The file includes commands to rise Z to a safe level, moves to where the job starts and runs through the job, returning to 0,0,0 and rises to 20mm over the start.

I can post a minijob if you need to look at the code.
