Only reason I was asking is sometimes things go crazy for you, TP also has/had that happening and I seem to recall him recently saying he doesnt use Home switches. Probably a wild shot but just wondering if Machine Coords are massive and maybe rolling over or something when things start going weird.

Hood,
No, my problem is a confirmed bug in Mach3 with the SmoothStepper. For reasons we still don't understand they sometimes "sync" when they shouldn't, which means Mach3 updates its position counters with the values it receives from the SmoothStepper. Unfortunately, these are somehow wrong, and result in the machine zero spontaneously changing mid-program, which should never, never EVER happen. It's a completely random (though, sadly, not all that rare - happened three times in as many minutes yesterday) occurrence. Brian, Greg and I have been trying to nail it down for almost two months now, but no joy.... It's become such a problem for me, I'm in the process of switching over to a KFlop right now.
Regards,
Ray L.
