Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Step Pulse Timing Question

The original discussion was how to get acceptable granularity of step pulse
frequencies using only the standard PC hardware and clever software, while
simultaneously servicing the GUI to provide the user with a "real-time"
interface experience. I guess I would define "acceptable" as "good enough to
run an old stepper motor Bridgeport".

I looked at your circuit when you posted it, and I thought it was very
inventive. I'm (99.999%) certain at this point that a successful stepper
control system is going to require an external pulse generator, so that is
the solution I have hung my hat on, but it's always nice to hear other
peoples ideas.
