Greets - I'm building a from-scratch standalong gui with small
real-estate (800x480 5" touchscreen). Obviously I won't be able to have
the traditional "full featured" elements like SilverDragon, but that's
ok. What I do have is a tab-widget with 5 tabs that hold all of my
workflows, but there a
n't use them for software stepping, so cannot speak on
that particular topic.
Worst part is dealing with the 19v power supply - they are often
intolerant of anything but their own power bricks.

There are other math items like what is the best fit for an approach

The PID just seems to be a clunky insertion just to force the stepgen to

not sure why the extra effort.

SSDs can be slower than fast HD's with specific testing, and that stable

You noted that you are using step/dir into servo drives - does it follow
that your servo drives require those SPI interfaced encoders? In the

I have tried this on 2 separate motherboards (my Epia M1 and a GeForce

total disaster). I don't think it's a MB/Bios issue.
