Thanks for confirming my guess, so if it twitches at 2, try 1.5 etc. I'm not cutting the 2nd start with a second stroke, but by an additional 180 applied to the full length of the back stroke. But I'm just now making the foot for it, and the additional padding to match dead center height is YTBD. Basically I could do an addtional degree on the turn to the back stroke but which way could be confusing. The advantage there is I can do that in my code w/o having to restart LCNC & rehome everything to change it. So rather than set the backlash, do the 180 and come back to 179, then do the back stroke to 179. That seems like a better idea. How much hysterisis do these pnp switches have? And have you ever had to dbounce them? They have not yet arrived fron San Diego, CA, USA. Thanks Andy. Take care and stay well.
