Sounds like you may have some noise issues.  Have you tried to add debounce in the general config. tab?

Chaoticone; there is no substitute for experience! I put in a value 100 in the debounce, this system seems to be operating at more 29khz. any way i just completed a dry run of the road runner with router running but no tool installed. went through it with out a hitch. thank you very much, richard.
