It doesn't seem like electrical noise to me. Once it gets to a certain point in the program, it E-stops. If I use the reset button and try to continue the program, it will immediately E-stop again. It refuses to progress past this point, but I can still manually jog without a problem. I'll try playing with the debouncing when I get a chance though.
joeaverage, my application is probably very different from most. I'm using only stepper motors instead of a continuous spindle, because I need accuracy rather than speed. I'm winding fairly complex patterns, not simply a helix. I don't have encoders, so I'm relying on dead reckoning of the steppers, which seems to work well enough. I actually wrote my own Python script to generate G code. I set G91 relative coordinates, so I could simply tell it how far to move for the next step.
