This is an extension of the 'slow gcode' thread. The work that Robert
has done on the TP are now in the beta stage. (has been for a little

Could you explain you issue? If there is a problem with offsets - it
should be fixed (atleast start a bug tracker...)

I have been testing a few things - 7i80, Robs new TP. I thought I would

Then I though 'Hey -
we have some BERGER LAHR drives with large 5 phase steppers.. As they
have gone bad - we have replace the drive/stepper as replacements are
very expensive.

Can anyone suggest a reasonable driver for 5 phase stepper motors?

I am surprised people still put up with me... I do have a lot of help
from the community. The compact 5 configs using the latch and dual
