    I still have not received the test actuator that I was borrowing to make this happen - :(
    My guess is that my startup routine has a value that is out of range for a scn6.
    Maybe I can put together a test app in order to find values that will work for both.
    There just are not enough hours in a day lol :thumbs

    there are a few startup 'home' commands the scn6 don't support.
    It was just a matter of using homing commands that worked for both the scn5 and scn6.
