Good to hear its working fine for you as well. I have been using and testing quite a bit the last few days and have not managed to make it fall over yet which is impressive. I deliberately faulted a servo to see what would happen and I got a Run Out Of Data message but unlike the USB SS all I had to do was reset and re-home (in case I had lost position) and I was back on track. With the USB SS I would have needed to restart Mach to recover from that.
I have been running at the full 4KHz communication frequency and feedhold is very good
I am liking this ESS very much and only wish someone would come up with a BOB that used all 3 ports of the ESS and had differential output option for step/dir, also a few differential inputs for index and maybe encoders and then the rest of the I/O capable of 24v. Oh and a couple of analogue inputs as well would be nice May have to try and make something up like that for myself.
