Clint,

I had the same problem with the Oct-18 release. It appeared to be a
problem with the limit switch polarity. Somehow I was able get the X out
of a "Red" condition (changed min_limit_polarity and max_limit_polarity to
0) but couldn't duplicate it with the Y and Z. So, I got tired of it all
and went back to the Oct-8th release and all appears to be fine now.
Granted this version is running on a computer in my den, while a really old
release from this last spring is running an actual machine fine.

Maybe Fred can shed some light on the estop problem.

Thanks,
Dan Falck
