This problem is worse with quadrature (which is otherwise, as you say, a rather better approach) LinuxCNC can make a step pulse every base thread, (using the "reset" function). It takes 4 base threads to make a quadrature cycle (though I guess every change in state can be interpreted as a step, so perhaps I am wrong about it being slower) -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
