The trajectory planner obeys the MAX_ACCELERATION, the problem is when you throw backlash compensation in on top of it. The Step generator then needs the extra headroom in STEPGEN _MAXACCEL to catch up with where the trajectory planner is commanding it to be plus the backlash take up move. So

I'm going to guess that low-level I/O error is a general _Following_Error_Joint_2_? No. It is a different error. I can't remember the exact wording but I have seen it before. The following error message is correct. With steppers you have two acceleration settings. There is the joint

LinuxCNC is designed to run servos. The stepgens simulate servos and will throw a following error if they are unable to generate steps at the commanded rate or acceleration. As Peter says, you probably increase your stepgen acceleration. Les On 04/03/2021 03:17, John Dammeyer wrote: The
