This is very odd, once gcode is loaded and the head starts to move it moves correctly. However first I noticed if I am just entering code into MIDI (eg g0 x20) sometimes it moves correctly and other times it moves over a much greater distance even though the DRO still displays as though it has moved correctly.
I then moved the head to the location I wanted and just zeroed knowing I had excess stock to make up for any differences and ran the gcode, everything seemed fine though the z axis was incorrect so I left everything the way it was and just altered the z coordinates before running the post processor again. I ran the gcode and the head moved about 20mm away on the Y coordinate and started running as if the stock was right below it but it obviously wasn't.
Another thing, I think this is only happening in the Y axis.
Please give any suggestions?
