Peter Please give some more info on this please. I tried the setup today on the machine. I loaded a stepgen but had to load it into the servo thread. I thought that was way to slow at 1us. Then tried to load another thread but got and error that said it was not permitted. Apart form having power supply problems I could see pulses coming from the parport on halscope. It al seemed very sluggish though.
Any suggestions on getting stepgen to run in a faster thread? On 2014-07-24 21:23, Peter C.
