I have 2 practically new computers and 1 older computer.
Computer 1: Micro Atx intel motherboard, Intel E1400 2Ghz, Nvidia Quadro 3400, PCI parallel port card. (windows XP)
Computer 2: Mini ITX, Intel motherboard, Intel Atom 1.6Ghz, On board graphics, On board parallel port. (windows 7)
Computer 3: ATX, Intel Motherboard, Pentium 4 1.8Ghz, Nvidia Geforce 6200, On board parallel port. (windows XP)
I would like to run as fast as possible. My Viper drivers are capable of 125Khz max input so i wont max them out. Currently have a smooth stepper running them but wanted to see how the parallel port works for me, and backlash compensation.
Attached are the pictures of each driver test screen shot. The numbers really didn't move much, nor did the graphs on any of them so each picture should accurately give everyone a decent assessment.
I built computer 1 to be the controller of my machine. I would just like someone to let me know how the numbers stack up, and if everything looks good! Thanks everyone!!
