When you touch off, AXIS regenerates the
That's what I was expecting just the touch off took longer than the original

would have taken me weeks to understand the source code for that) and I am
using variables though none that are system set, I set them all in the

I'll try backing off the BASE_PERIOD setting.
It's not on a network yet (need to run CAT5 to the garage still) but does

Thanks for the suggestion.

It's a work in progress but I've got 3 axes operational - still some
electronics to work on and a few goodies to machine for the mill and then
it'll be 100%.

Silly thing was that the couple PCI video cards I had laying around didn't
work under X AND they increased the latency test results. Maybe I'll grab a
