Unless I'm reading this wrong, I've come down from a PE of about 12 down to 1.69.

After updating my Gemini I didnt read the bit where is says the limits would be reset. Needless to say the mount collided with gear box and snapped the to of the gear box off. Problem is that the gearbox housing holds the motor in place.
I removed the whole assembly worm block and all. Polished the worm with a dremel (this propbably has something to do with the decrease in Pe as well). Popped it back on the mount but the gear box house was still very loose and you could move the motor around quite a bit. I got a cable tie and tied the motor to the one piece worm block to help support it.

Did a PE run last night and nearly lost my mind...

I did a run of 9 worm cycles, created a curve then up loaded it to the Gemini. Then did a run of another 4 cycles with PE turned on added the curves and hey presto.

I wont believe until I actually get out and test it tonight. I've had pec curves i the past that have made thing worse when they should have made things better.

Cheers.

Obviously the damping effects of the cable-tie-coupler(TM) have a great effect on PE.

Either that or the gears aren't contacting the worm any more :P :scared3:
