RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: faster steppers

Ballendo,

Generally correct, but the module is not determined as compile time. They
are all compiled and you can switch between them by just modifying your .ini
file. You can create multiple run and ini files and then easily load what
ever one you want by just executing the run file.
