I wonder if it’s some kind of grounding issue or noise that’s getting induced when you open/close the relay? ---

Any suggestions how to troubleshoot? Or work around it with the squaring routine? ---

The only way to know for sure what’s going on is to check with a scope… My guess, and these are only guesses is that it could be noise or it could be that you’re cutting the signal when the motor is getting a “high” signal and you’re dropping it low by cutting it off, causing it to take a step… I think the first theory is more likely. If you don’t have a scope to see what’s going on you could just run a loop in your code to check a few times for squareness. My guess is that it will get into square at some point… [Previous page](https://forum.avidcnc.com/t/cnc12-v5-22-auto-squaring/4417.md?page=1)
