« on: November 02, 2010, 05:41:15 AM »It was what you mentioned before. The drive was expecting the direction pulse to appear on the falling edge of the step pulse but the BOB/Smooth Stepper combination was outputting it on the rising edge (or vice versa).A question here. In the past I have always used the Dir line as a 'state' rather than as a pulse. That is, Hi goes CW, Low goes CCW. Does this apply here? Surely?
Otherwise, a timing problem with the transitions. Yuk! Sounds horribly right.

It was only after I accidentally removed both the SS and the BOB from the sequence that I found the problem was gone. A new SS plugin cured the problem.Are you say then that either the SS or the BoB are apparently altering the timing of the original signal ? Oh Dear.
