Re: emc with camtronics more help please

Good suggestion, but it happends on all 3 axis and I've checked the
pulleys and hardware. I don't change direction when I'm testing the
steps to take backlash out of the picture. I run the machine down to
where you can hear each step and it makes no difference. I'm thinking
this is either an emc setup problem or a not enough computer
problem. This setup works reliably with dos and windows demo
software.

thanks,
ben
