Thanks Gene My emco is running a pi 4 as well. Model b, 4gb. What kind of latency figures are you getting on your servo thread? I find mine to be a bit finicky unless I keep wifi off Phil T. The Feral Engineer Check out my LinuxCNC tutorials, machine builds and other antics at www.youtube.com/c

I've got 2 speed pulleys on mine 2000 and 4000rpm. Just want to try and fine tune the rpm and see if there's a way to soften the acc/dec without messing with the vfd (don't have the removable programming panel). Plus, i like to tinker with stuff to learn more about it. Phil T. The Feral Engineer

initialize a home sequence, it'll do what I expect it to do, but if it's (as an example) 100mm from the home switch, it will search for the switch, touch, back away, fine feed until it finds the closest proximity pulse, then rapid back 100mm, so it's not very robust at this point.
