General Mach Discussion / Re: Support Question: Motors stall after powering down during long perpendicular run

Thanks for the input. Perhaps I am wrong about them powering down. As far as the length of time, perhaps 20-30 seconds? I have tried turning down the acceleration, but am not sure how much. I am currently running at about 35 in/min, and an accel of 10. My driver is a HobbyCNC driver, and the steppers are 305 oz/in. For machining anything where each axis is activated within 30 seconds of previously being activated, it works great. On the larger stuff though, where one axis is dormant longer than about 20-30 seconds, it stalls out and misses its line of g-code. Thanks again.
