I agree that the design of the protocols and software needs to accomadate 2,000,000 steps /sec 64000 counts per rev on the encoders is also needed with the 2Meg cnts/sec
These max paramitors will determin our number systems. I have a laser cutting table that will support 2,000,000steps/sec with 1micometer resolution that can be used to test this limit of a controler but this requires very expensive hardware control system. 1000inch/minute jog is normal but controled circular interpulation at this rate is not. so we need max cutting speeds seperate from max jog rates. Open sound control we can look at. I want to keep the first hardware low cost so anyone can use it but it does need to be usable. So lets see if we can hit above 50,000 steps/sec. I will have to see what is posible.
