Peter, I think the idea is to correct the EMC2-related information, since that's what we know about. It would make sense for someone who knows more about Mach to correct that information. I believe I'm the only one of the EMC developers who has ever installed or evaluated Mach, since I'm one of the only ones who actually has a Windows PC :)
You could certainly suggest to Art that he or someone there correct the information about their software. Kirk, It might be good to add a "closed loop" column. That probably used to be implicit in the "stepper vs. servo" column, but it isn't any more because of step-to-servo drives like the Geckos. Also, if you could add web support/wiki to the support column, that would be good. There's a typo in the max steps/sec column - the 300 should be 300k (and I think you can get to 12 MHz with the Mesa cards, but don't quote me on that). I wonder if re-wording that column would make sense anyway. The 20k number is for just about anything you could run Linux on - a P2-233 could probably do that. Most modern systems (less than 3-5 years old) should be able to get to 30 KHz with 2.1.7, or 60 KHz with double-freq in 2.2. It's hard to represent everything in 1 square inch in an HTML table ;) Thanks for your efforts. - Steve Peter Homann wrote: >Hi Kirk, > >Nice table. The data for Mach3 is incorrect in many columns.
