Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: faster steppers

Hi,

I just made a major leap forwards - Paul mentioned in an off-list post that,
if using steppermod, you should comment out the PERIOD parameter in the
Motion control section of the ini file. I did this and I have been able to
more than double the speed of my steppers! I now have a reliable motor top
speed of 540 r.p.m. which will give me a machining speed up to 180mm/min -
plenty for the kind of work I anticipate doing on this machine. Thanks Paul.
I haven't seen this info included in any of the documentation (unless I just
missed it) - perhaps it should be mentioned somewhere.
