Your encoders are 2500 pulses per rev which is 10000 counts per rev. You don't tell us how the motors are connected to the ballscrews so I don't know if your turns per inch setting is correct. If your motors are direct coupled, then it is. You have resend requests in your error logs - this should b...

Maybe I am missing something but I am trying to setup my axis config and I am having a hard time getting the movement dialed in. It seems to be way off yet, I should have 24" of x travel from the home limit and I am only getting about 18" on the readout. Hopefully someone can see my mistak...
