Hood,

  As I stated in a previous post, I figured it out. Just lowered my velocity.
The xml is from after that fix. Everything seems fine now.
Thanks, 

Ed

Brett,
  I'm not worried about Hood. But you, your the one I made all the remarks about,
But then again, being your brother in law,    , I figured you could handle it.
Later Bro.

OK,
   I think I figured it out. After doing a "REF ALL",  if I hit shift to rapid jog the X axis, the dro was way off.
I tried this a couple times. Then I did it all over again in slow jog, was ok. So I dropped my X velocity from 157 ipm to 150ipm.
Accel is 13.6. That seemed to fix it.

I'm also enclosing my xml, in case anyone wants to check it.

Thanks
Ed

 C'mon guys, 

  Nobody answered my question. Why do I have to do a"REF ALL"  2 times to get DRO. to read correct.   
It doesn't do it all the time. but if I don't check it, some thing will messed up. But then thats the way my luck goes.

What makes you think its gum?.
 
Its looks more like one of Bretts cigar butts, and looks like he's trying to spit it out

 As far as your servos, I'm running 100volt baldor servos on 54 v @ 150" ipm with 340 geckos.

Overloaded,

Where are you from.?  anywhere near Wisconsin
I well know,this world has more than its share of accholes, and I met more than my share thru the years.

I had a job down in Miami in 2000-2001 as a vehicle dynamics engineer for a company owned by an Israli.We designed
a jeep- a cross between a jeep and a hummer. He had orders from Isral and South America. I designed the suspension and all
the tooling and fixtures to produce  these jeeps.

He ran out of money and conned me into staying and setting up his new shop in Hialea( cuban section of Miami)
I stayed there from Jan -June and never got paid. I came back up here and a shop here begged me to work for him
The bank locked his doors and I got screwed again. RETIRMENT Time. Now I just do the jobs I want in my shop for CASH.

Later
Ed

LOL
_ You gotta be really hard up.  Any relation to Brett and Brett 
The local zoo don't even want her, and the Humane  society won't even let her in the door
.
She does really get along good with my dog.( Male German Shepard.)
  Take a good look at the palm of your hand. Looks better than Britt,I bet.

But then again if you really want her, send me a big ventilated box, some chains, and a couple cartons of cigarettes.

LOL. I really thought Hood would like to give her a try, but would cost to much to ship.

Brother Brett, 
   I tryed with backlash enabled and without. Using both .001 and .002 in backlash
 and nothing changed. any which way ends up with .001 backlash, but machine tuning was good.
 It didnt jump around like a monkey in heat.   ( I know what thats like) 


   One problem  I do find is after ref all (with soft limits off) if I jog X to + limit (with soft limits on)  ,dro reads 33.*********.
 today it was 17.*********. Its actuall is suppose to be 29.000 with soft limits. If I ref all again it will be right (29.000)
 Something not right there.Otherwise everything seems good.
   Thanks again, but, when can I send your sister back?

Ed
