Brian,
I am cuious about one thing though. When I did the initial calibration for distance, the machine would jog smooth as silk to whatever distance I set in. Then when I would try to jog or move (G0 or G1) in any direction the movement would be jerky. I'm confused as to why the calibration movement was smooth and the other was not. Have any idea?
I'll pick up another computer this week and give another go at it with some debounce added. Till then this old Dell 450 running version 184.001, other than taking a long time to compile an 86,000 line file, seems to be running the Ascension/ShopBot ok.
Thanks again
Bill
