Hi Mark, I am not sure what you are referring to by the term phase drive. I use my mill and lathe with stepgen set to stepping type 2 which is quadrature drive ( drive waveform is identical to a quadrature encoder ) Sometimes this mode and some of the higher stepping type modes get referred to as phase drive. If you need sample configs for lathe and or mill with quadrature drive, drop me an email and I will send them along. There are very few changes required to the sample stepper files... changing the stepping type, and renamimg the connections from step/dir to something like phaseA/phaseB. cheers Lawrence
