Whaddayamean LESS subtle?? I spent almost every weekend for two months fussing with stepconf....

Go BACK into stepconf to tweak, then back to Axis to >test.. VERY VERY inconvenient but I got it.. I have not encountered something like this yet, but it will be a long beautiful spring. Honestly: After all I've seen and after reading Rob Jansen's mail I doubt if the "test axis" function is worth any more than to check if the motors are hooked to the right pins. Obviously, the movement properties of this feature and that of Axis can't be related, so experiences with stepconfig don't pertain to the real behaviour in later practice. >Robert I.

My old stepper card does not recognize pulses below a certain length and below a certain time distance. Check these lengths.
