This is usually a sign of incorrect step timings. It might mean your drivers occasionally step in the wrong direction if the step pulse comes too soon after a direction change, or some other similar infrequent problem. Check the timings again, and re-run this program. Sounds like you have a nice test case to use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
