Is there a significant benifit of this controller say versus Xylotex for example
The ncPod is a motion control, that sends sends step and direction signals to a stepper drive. The Xylotex
is a stepper drive. Comparing them is apples and oranges.
Fred, didn't you used to sell the ncPod on your site? I don't see it there now, but seem to recall I did in the past. Where else can you buy them.
It seems to me that for the $55 more fof the SmoothStepper, you get a whole lot more. More I/O, faster step rates, more features, active development.....
