No. But I did just find it, when changing the signs of the various search VELocities, I inadvertently put a - sign in front of the axis 2 MAXVEL & it doesn't like a -1.0. Funny thing, max debug level did not report that! So atm I can now jog it, but because I apparently left it with the z switch closed, or because that is no power on the BOB or motors, I can't do a home axis so didn't even try. Thats only a 17" monitor, and about 4 feet from it is as close as I can get when the lathe is sitting spindle out on top of the toolbox its on so that I could get at both front & back. I obviously need to set an even bigger font in gedit. Its not a problem when its actually sitting in its normal working position as its only about 29" from where I stand then. And I owe you an apology for wasting your time checking out what my poor vision at 4' from the monitor let me do. I've been wearing trifocals for 70 years. So this is not LCNC's fault, its mine, and I apologize for wasting your time, > What did you change?

I put - signs in front of the search_vel's when I drilled & tapped into the back of the bed to move the z switch so it would only be closed at a point close to the chuck. It was what I intended to do anyway & I screwed up and added it in the wrong line. Now it moves and I can sort the rest of this basket of rattlesnakes I think. I have yet to make a swarf shield for the x switch, which is on the top of the carriage so the crossfeed backs into it about 20 thou from its out limit mechanically.
