Good news...I changed the J4's into the controller and the hesitation disappeared.  Thanks for the advice...I'm off and running!!

I contacted Mike (he assembled the board for me).  He told me how to fix this...basically I need to change jumper 4 to On.  That should take care of this voltage reduction problem, causing the delayed start.  I will report my findings.  Thanks for everyone's help.

John:

Thanks for the suggestion.  I purchased the controller already assembled.  It's a Hobby CNC (I think) board.  I purchased it from mikebeck.org.

I'll contact him for information.

Hello guys:

Newbie on board...I've done some searching of different discussions, but am unable to find any similar to my problem.  I'm trouble shooting an issue with my homemade (leadscrew) router.  I when I say newbie, I'm not kidding!!

When I use the arrow keys on my computer to move my X and Y axis, initially I get a delayed start of movement.  I get a loud hum, then start of the axis.  The delay is maybe 1/2 second or so.  Then the axis runs normally.  If I use the arrows fast (back and forth on either axis) there is no delay in change of direction.  But if I wait 10-15 seconds, then start axis movement, I get that darned delay.

I'm trying to figure out if this is a software issue or hardware issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Rod
