So EMC2 probably has too much jitter. I think you would find the hardware step generator boards help greatly with this. I also don't think the step-wise acceleration is the problem, as that doesn't change when I put in one of my universal stepper controller boards. but, the plain pulse-pulse jitter does improve. > I looking to mesa for $79 and I can live with that but they doesn't > support quadrature output as all my drives are not STEP/DIR but are > phase drives or quadrature. > The Universal Stepper Controller does have a quadrature (phase drive) output, by flipping a DIP switch. > And I like to complete EMC2 in way as is.

Geckodrive and others should also be giving away their drives as well. The computers should also be sent to your door free of charge, whenever a new model comes out! Uhhh, what planet are you living on?
