Nicklas,
I guess I didn't describe the setup as well as I could have.
The Gecko 320's are the source of the 20 khz pulses but the 320's are
on the x and z axes and the noise is coming in on the spindle encoder lines.
The noise is there even when the 320's are NOT active and the x and z
motors are

Yes, the Gecko drives have
I should probably start a new thread here but there is definitely a
similarity in the noise problem.
In my jet 9 x 20 conversion I was getting lots of noise spikes on my
spindle encoder feedback to the 7i78 card.
I went through all the regular suspects, grounding, shielding twisted

Trust nothing. LCD monitors, especially with CCFL

Motor supplies don't even need to be regulated. Just use a
transformer, rectifier and capacitors.

Yes, TO220 7805 or LM8705 but you may be suprised about how much power is
wasted as heat inside it. It is a good idea to do the math before bying.
#1 are you using all 8 grounds on the flat cable to connect the 7I90
to the RPI?

No improvement with the new PSU?
For the amount of 5V power we are talking about here, surely it would
be easy to make or buy a linear PSU?

Gene,
I think you know all this but I wonder if you implemented it.
I wonder if the issue is not with grounding. If a signal moves
relative to ground maybe it is the ground that moves? The only way
to avoid a moving ground is tomato absolutely certain that it is
impossible for current to

Greetings all;
While I like the SPI interface as its faster that even a parport, I am
finding it quite susceptible to mistakes cause by emi from a switching
psu's typical of stepper motor psu's. These things it seems can radiate
back out the line input connections, while switching at 17 kiloher
