Its not losing sync unless it throws the following error, and halscope if I catch it right, show a huge ringing as it errors, when it ran perfectly on the previous peck with no ringing. It may occasionally be triggered by the .0008" backlash offset application shortly after it crosses the zero velocity mark, but far more likely will occur at the end of the g33.1 invocation after its unlocked, and the spindle is returned to fwd, while the z is being run back down to starting point. That motion is only restricted in delta v by the ini files max_accel setting. And faster accel's seem to reduce it, most of the time. Now, I have got to boogie and take care of some honeydo's involving replacing a single tub laundry sink with a double tub, and giving a dehumidifier that has been draining into that sink staining it to beat the band (its a $#@^&*$ plastic casting that weighs about 5 lbs) and needs lagged to the wall to keep it from busting its drain plumbing loose, getting a drain connector assembly that will let me drain the dehumidifier like is was a garbage disposal, in addition to acquiring some garage door cable pulleys and a looooong spring assortment and some metal to make pulley holders from. Springs to be screen door and bigger. I may have to goto the lathe and make me some anchor knobs to hook the eyes of the springs up for easy changing, until I hit the balance point where it stalls at the same speed going both ways. Later folks. Thanks Jon Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
