at the moment, the raspberry can drive 5-6kHz with an unpatched and 10-12kHz with a patched stepgen. (and I think, much more is possible) I want a cheap and easy to get and easy to handle IO-device. not only for mills and other machines. for education this also may be interesting. Not really

hi andy, hi tjoseph, - doublestep - of course, I had not seen this this option. this gives me an idea, how to implement this feature without any changes in stepgen. (but yesterday, it was the easiest way to test it) I will try it. thanks a lot ;-) wicki Am 26.02.19 um 01:44 schrieb

Hi all, since several weeks I'm developing and testing a driver-package for Raspberry and Arduino. In my last test today I got 12kHz-Stepper frequency with a Raspberry. http://erste.de/ethraw/raspberry_ethraw.12kHz.jpg Therefore I also changed a few lines in steppgen.c. I want to include a new
