Mark, The short answer is replacing the limit/home switch wiring with shielded cable and grounding it to one place was the difference in making the sserial errors go away. Unless you need 2.7 back up to 2.6 till you get rid of the sserial errors. JT On 1/1/2016 4:28 PM, Mark Johnsen wrote: >

John, Thanks for the direction, I'll look at that for the limits. My machine is the _one_ switch type for limits on both ends without a home. I didn't setup a home, but after using the mill for the last year, probably a good idea. I have been running 2.6.11 on a different harddrive, so good

If you have limit switches set them up to home also, saves time when firing up as last offsets are still good. Also the soft limits work when you home. Got a photo of the el cabinet? JT On 1/1/2016 5:01 PM, Mark Johnsen wrote: > John, > > Thanks for the direction, I'll look at that for the
