Sebastian, Which version introduced opposing motor gantry support? Was that 2.7, and because I had 2.7 pre installed I inadvertently upgraded to 2.8 pre?
It is an RTAI build as I had the 7i43-small configuration working fine. I will try what you say, I would just like confirmation that I am using the version with gantry support, which I thought had been released.
