Re: faster steppers

Hi Tim,

But I LIKE to write the code! Seriously, the company I work for (and
I've said it before) makes a hand held computer for automotive test.
This will do frequency and duty cycle (as well as various meters and
scopes), so all I have to do is connect it to a suitable signal source.
Or, yes, I could pull out a little code and run it on the PC!

Maybe I'll get one of Dan's modules for Easter! Yeah, that's it!
