Does it need blown up in scale like the P term is? So instead of the .0015 we might using with a stepper whose P term might be 20, or less but is 250000 here, so D needs to be scaled similarly? I'll give it a shot after dinner. Set it to 1 and keep adding zeros. Thanks Andy. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
