Greetings all; Previously with the kernel on my web page running, there was an occasional glitch in the sound of the z motor even at slower speeds, like the z motor being slowed for a millisec or so when manually jogging from the key board, but not when running gcode or by mdi moves.
Friday I installed a newer kernel that seems to have solved that as I spent 10 minute jogging it around with hearing that motion glitch. Then I did an apt update which showed 113 packages to be updated, so I did that, getting all the updates discussed in todays magpi. Then I rebooted and played some more, and was able to make it move x almost 50% faster, and z about 20% faster. latency-test (no base)period was about 1/3rd the time of the previous kernels 50 u-secs. I haven't yet made an installable tarball and posted it, but will in the next day or so, because I think this is about ready for primetime. I also did a fresh git clone and uspace build of LinuxCNC-master, which seems to work as advertised. Everything I tried today Just Worked. Comments?
