The last test sounds like its missing steps on the Z positive moves but as you say its opposite to before then it could be a drive issue.

ok... so did more test and here are the results

- exchanged the drives and same result.
- re-done the wiring between drives and interface board (to avoid misconnection or inverted pulse)
- changed feedrate of the test program and noticed that x and y where also getting some shift at some feedrate.
- the did a test full speed (5000mm/min). result is no visible shift
- so basically the lower the steps per min are and the more drift I get.this is why at 50 microteps it was not as obvious as now.

previously with the original JNC-40 USB interface card, it was crashing a lot but at least there was no shift like now.

could it be the CSMIO interface card? if so why?

i have no more idea on what is the issue...

thanks.

With the jnc USB interface signal was not in differential mode. Could it be that the driver does not work in that config?

The drives say they are differential input, you could try connecting them single ended if you wish, info is in the CSMIO manual I linked to.
However you said things got worse when youdecreased the microstepping, did you ever try that microstepping on the other controller?
I cant think what could be causing that but if you attach your xml I will look at it to make sure there is nothing wrong in it that could possibly cause something like your problem.

Hi,

Please check 'config/ports&pins/motor outputs' settings. Try to change 'Step Low Active' setting for Z axis. Let me know if it helped.

as surprising at it might be, indeed it seems to work... ???

will do further tests in the next days to confirm
