I would have thought so, and doubted you'd have missed that one :)

Never though about extra in-job homing before, but now it seems pretty obvious.  It does suggest that perhaps it's worth adding the odd G28 in a post processor (after a move to safe height, been bit by that before) for longer jobs.  Hmmm...

Looking forwards to some motorless Auggying (Auggie-ing?  need some reflection on the correct expression), hope the Pokeys doesn't suffer from a pokey holiday increased delivery time, and the dramatic climatic differences between FL and here.   The other parts will be making their slow journey from the Orient, but that'll give more time to do some studying and research, plus practice holding the correct end of the soldering iron (or healing from slow learning events...).

You mentioned a router (communications, not CNC) firmware update to fix stuttering problems, guessing that had something to do with the chip on it's internal LAN ethernet switch.  Did you try connecting your pokey Pokey and computer to a separate ethernet switch (and then that switch to your Internet router) to see if that fixed it?  Maybe de-Interneting it while in use to prevent outside interference?

Hi Kirk:

  No, I just updated firmware after tracing everything I could. ( It helped Auggie as I learned how to speed it up..). But Still I had small
period os 300ms or so of dead time. I traced packets and saw many T_SYN events.. so I updated firmware, problem went away, and motors are stable..
  System must never stop apps for more than 120ms or so.. if it does, the buffer will empty..
