Gene, I commented out the following variables:
[EMCMOT] section COMM_TIMEOUT = 1.0 COMM_WAIT = 0.010 [TRAJ] section CYCLE_TIME = 0.010 Fired up the machine with the link on the desktop and didn't see any warnings or anything through the axis gui. Was able to jog all three axis of the machine. I didn't have time before leaving for work to do any more testing. (After reading your response a second time, I see you also removed the CYCLE_TIME for [EMCIO]. That was not one I was asking about because I found it in the INI documentation. although I see your point.) My setup is parport driven stepper system with configs created by stepconf using the axis gui. I launched the controller with the link that stepconf placed on the destop. Should I be starting it from command line to see the error you have or something else? John suggest I open an issue on this but want to make sure I am not including something that I shouldn't or vice versa before I do. Regards.
