RE: Home with servos

Max,

Does the home sequence work with your setup? ie. Hit home switch, reverse
direction until index pulse, move at 2 times speed to home offset.

If so do you think there might be a jumper setting on my stg board that
needs to be corrected?

I changed the cycle time to 0.0005 and even 0.00025.  I had to adjust the
TASK and TRAJ cycle times to 0.005 before my pc wouldn't lock up, but this
didn't seem to make a difference for me.  The cpu is 266 MHz.

There is something very simple here that I am overlooking or that I have
inadvertantly corrupted.

Thanks
