Does this mean the 2 phase closed loop stuff has it? One of the reasons I
migrated to the 3 phase is the smaller step, 1.2 as opposed to 1.8
degrees for a full step. That, and the machine noise is 5% of a 2 phaser
because these drivers only use coil current enough to do as they are
told. If the error goes up, so does the current. At working speeds it
moves like Casper the ghost. With the 1600 oz 2 phase on the Z, it shook
a 12" crescent wrench out of the chip pan, or tried like hell. I had to
put a 1/4 round fence on the edge of the keyboard table where the gear
box used to be as I broke keyboards and mice on the cement floor so many
times. Vibrated off. These are sweet, motor and driver at $120 a copy.
Thank you Peter.
