Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] emc with camtronics more help please

Ben

I have the same setup as you, EMC with Camtronincs 5A drivers using
steppermod. Its been a while since I set it up but recall a similar problem
to what you describe. I believe it was related to my power supply setup
(switching) being inadequate to drive the motors at speed. How does your
system perform when you do a high speed G00 traverse of the whole axis? Once
I got that working, single steps were no problem.
