Based on your description, I think that is what was causing me to lose
steps. I was able to start the router in motion, drop down to a cutting
position and then begin cutting. Since I was cutting at 1 depth for more
than 10 seconds, I always seemed to miss steps on the Z. I would notice
that the when the g0 would pull the router up then out, it would stall the z
avis then proceed to plow m router through the workpiece back to 0,0,0.
This sounds like the activation could easily be initiated by HAL and sent
across the parrallel port to the board. Looks like I need to read up on
code writing.... not one of my forte's.
Thanks for the post.
