Strange! Are you on the master branch? There were some bad hm2 stepgen ferror problems in early 2.3 releases. The latest official 2.3 release and the current trunk/master branch have all the fixes. Yes I am using master. I have last pulled as of yesterday. from dmesg hm2 driver

I wouldn't think that should make a difference. and why would jogging (at say 25 ipm) be worse then G0 moves at 100 ipm How is jogging planning different from G0 moves ? Acceleration is higher. Program G61 to get full acceleration on a G0 move. But why would the cruise phase on a
