I got a soft limit bug in latest version went back to previous one ending .20 after hearing a fair few bugs in latest version.

restarted mach and they are now working.

the machine is working, still need a smooth a few things out but its working

[lucan07]

Its coming together that first cuts always the best

another issue I have is when left on standby the stepper motors get very hot, to hot to touch. I took them down from 3.2amps to 2.8amps, they still get way to hot it just takes longer for them to heat up now

[lucan07]

Many drivers have sw4 on for half voltage I believe this is for standby mode only to solve that problem, but if they are touchable they are probably not to hot they are designed to run hot.

If I leave my triac on over night the motors are stone cold the next day.

If I machine for an hour and half the motors are still stone cold, so just seems odd on the microrouter

Likely the way the standby is accomplished, e.g. a PC can be sleeping completely monitoring a 3.3v micro current or running lots uf stuff in background and just turning screen & disks off.
