Hi, just testing darwin on my system, my motors are choppy and seem to lag a bit.
my old mach3 system died so i had to build another one. it's a 3 axis router table running IM804 stepper drivers 4-6 amp.
i can turn them when the systems off with my fingers and i'm not feeling any binding but when running it just seems slow and you can hear the steppers hesitate at times.
the darwin control and status water fall is showing 2 lines not one. Img attached.
why is that? and could that be causing my issue?
pentium 3ghz with 2g ram
windows xp
using PCI parallel port drivers loaded fine
