I agree that it is in my machine configuration. It's just a matter of finding where in the configuration. Thanks for the test routines. We will give them a try.

If you are seeing the Z axis dropping in height over multiple moves, it is likely that you have either the Acc or Speed too high for the Z axis and are losing steps. If the motors are not stalling, it is also possible you do not have the correct direction hold times for your stepper drivers. Each direction change may be losing a step or more. Try the following program.... it will test the Z axis configuration for proper setup. Zero your machine with Z = 0.000 at the table top. Run the program. It will make 200 moves back and forth from 0.5 to 1". If you have a configuration issue, you will find that the final position will not end up 0.500" that the axis window is showing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
