Thank you Hood, Jorge
Jorge has understood the type of thing that I hope to do. I estimate that each run will be between 10 and 14 hours using 0.02mm stepovers.
Also, at my age and with my character, it's not just the destinations in life that are important; it's the route that the journey takes.
Hood. Point me please to the information that is around on this subject. There may be an obvious way to find it, but I am new to this subject of computers. (Got my first laptop as a retirement present)
One other point has occurred to me after testing the download trial with the (very old) driver cards that I have. The maximum pulse length from Mach3 is 5us for step and direction. My driver cards require between 5 and 30us. Now I can stretch them with a bit of electronics, but, for the sake of taking the hard road; can it be done in software?
Messing with software is free except for time, and that I have in stock.
I guess it's a work day for you guys!! Not me!
