Sorry this version doesn't work at all on my pc...
Well I hope it's a pc problem.

It loose a lot of steps during the execution of a G01 path but not in the circle (G02).

Sorry I can't try

Hi
The machine is a personal project.
I think that in my case, the belt for use 1 stepper for 2 ballscrew, is the batter way.
I found either belt and pulley in a store near here (I live in Italy).
I'll post new pics as soon as possible.

I convert the videos in WMV format so anyone can see it.

Im making a macro with two speeds, first move very fast on the probe, then move back (1-2mm) and then a second, very slow move on the probe.

My macro do this yet...

Code "G31 Z-230 F600"
While IsMoving()
Wend
Code "G91 G00 Z2"
Code "G31 Z-10 F60"
While IsMoving()
Wend
HitOld = GetVar(2002)

It works fine, but only when I run step by step...

I'm working on it

You mean when I use "G91 G00 Z5"?
I don't think that it's a problem because in previous version I didn't use it and the problem was the same.

Asked to Popeye if on his machine it works correctly, I'm waiting for an aswer.

Maybe my pc??

I tried whit my usual software, and the tool measure works perfect...the machine is the same...

Brian have you some suggestions?

It is always out of 0.1 to 0.8/1 mm... and it's too much, but I can't understand why...
