I have already thought about this, but I didn't mention it yet because I don't people confused anymore than they already are. However, since it has been mentioned, It would be a ideal if the screw comp could continue to follow with the motors disabled. If if it follows COMMANDED change of direction as you say, then this could become a significant problem. To change all that might be asking a little too much. > The "resistance" you sense is historical.

I am not interested in changing my machine or EMC in these regards. The ONLY reasons backlash and screw comp have been mentioned at all in this thread is because it is the reason I can't feed my scale feedback into axis.N.motor-pos-fb. Thats all.
