(don't get old, its no fun) Got up this morning and I believe I have fixed it. I first went thru the x stuff, combining net names etc so the signal paths were more obvious. Without bob or motor power, x still worked. Nuked the whole Z stanza, and copy/pasted the X stuff to a Z stanza, then edited where needed to change x to z and joints and stepgens to 1. Also temporarily made it home individually. Even passes the two_pass now which it didn't before. So theoreticly, all I need to do is calibrate the scale, and soft limits, and TLM should be usable again. But before I set limits, which are stated as being in machine units, is this the figure from joint.n.position-cmd when the machine is driven to that particular position?
