What are the SCALE settings for the jittery axes? When you say "Manual mode", do you mean jogging only? Do the axes jitter regardless of what the MDI command is? For example, if X tends to jitter, does it do so only when you issue moves that include X, or does it also do so when you do Z or YZ only moves? It may be good to look at your configuration info. If you could put your .ini and .hal files on http://pastebin.ca and send us the link, it would be helpful. If you could also provide a short sample program that exhibits the problem, it would be good. - Steve >>John Kasunich wrote: >> >> >>>andyholcomb wrote: >>> >>> >>>>This is a new and updated (today) install.
