Hi Andy, I got the drift of that from reading the web page on the various screens and user interfaces I'll probably take a stab at that later this week since I'm still having encoder noise issues with both US Digital and CUI encoders on the DC Brushed motors. Waiting for parts from Digikey to proceed on that. And my MESA board won't be here for some time yet. While I'm waiting for parts I'll put together another STMBL so I can configure it for DC Servo and track down if the problem is the encoders/motor combination or HP_UHU with these motors and encoders. Then once the hardware works go back to setting up the MESA instead of PC parallel ports in order to get the 55kHz step rate I need for X and Y.
