Microstepping and speed limits
-
To check whether you have the combination of speed * microstepping too high, do some long, high-speed moves. Then run M122 and look at "MaxReps" in the Move section. Try to keep that value below 50, or 100 at most. The value is cleared out after it is displayed.

Ok, in geek speak what does this translate into ?

MaxReps is the number of times that the ISR loops while generating step pulses, before there are no further steps due yet.

Ahh, so kind of like the max length of the FIFO that was hit? I notice I hit 364 on my last print. I've stepped down to 128x and trying the print again.
Edit: Same print I got 17 now with 128x vs 364 @ 256x. Guess I'll stick with 128x.
Thanks,
