Hello Jeff E. and Peter W., I tried what you recommended in your mails of Jan. 26 and 24 and behold, my steppers have a much better sound than before, they are litterally singing now. I commented all the reset-lines in the .hal file that refer ro doublestep mode and set steptime = stepspace = 50000 for a beginning.
The system had set dirhold = 63000 dirsetup = 213000 In the .ini file I found Base_Period = 118000 Servo_Period=1000000 The motors seem to run fine now, but testing with example files I soon get the message "joint 0 following error". Remembering discussions a couple of days ago, I presume this has to do with speeds or accelerations I defined (?). I'm eager to see the machine running now, what is the reason of this message? I hesitate to call stepconf for investigating because I'm afraid my changes will be overwritten and I have to do them all anew. Besides: is there a way to preserve my changes from stepconf?
