I've had some issues with VFD noise on VGA monitors and I was actually thinking that I'd like to try HDMI to see if it was more noise immune, being a digital instead of analog interface protocol. Given the cost of copper wire lately and the cost reductions possible when the complexity is integrated into a very high volume chip that can be soldered to a board using automated electronic assembly equipment, I'm surprised that a noiseless fiberoptic video/audio industry standard hasn't prevailed. I probably should have bought the D2xxx series motherboards, but I standardized on a bunch of D525MW mother boards, based largely on the best recommendations from this list at the time. No doubt Peter is correct about their real world jitter, but they seem adequate for my simple needs. I generally have slow stepper based CNC machines. For the one lathe project where I'm considering using servos and hi-res encoders, I've already purchased a couple of MESA boards. For my stepper based D525MW powered CNC machines, I promise not to watch YouTube videos while machining any more. :-) I'm too lazy to hook up the oscilloscope and toggle a bit to determine the real world jitter, so YouTube is my realtime benchmarking tool. :-D ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
