Hood!
Just hooked up some steppers. And they're moving exactly as the crosshairs on the screen I've tried to cut a simple circle and it's moving along in 3-5 mm steps accelerating/decelerating all the time ending up with maybe 20-30 green dots along the contour on the job screen. Tried the G64 as well just doesn't do it.
I'm running mach3 (35kHz Pulse) on a dedicated 3.0GHz CPU with 4GB of RAM can't really go higher then that. Tried higher acceleration, read something about that, but just makes the whole affair a bit crisper. It just looks like im allways in Exact Stop Mode yet if got G64 on.
Just stumps me man.
