Progress!!

Hi,

I've actually made some progress on my CNC mill project. After a lot of
fruitless experiment I've finally got a usable driver circuit working
and I now have motors rotating in response to the PC.
However, they only seem to do so at quite a pedestrian pace and I
wondered if anyone can give me any advice on 'fine tuning'. I am using
Stepster on a 486/66Mhz PC and I have currently set the 'PC speed
factor' to 2500 - everything else is as the default set-up. However, I
can't get the motors to step reliably with a 'F Rapid' factor greater
than '%30'.
Is this normal or should I adjust something to speed things up? I have
read the description of how Stepster works and find it almost
unintelligible and unhelpful in that it doesn't give any indication as
to which way the factors should be adjusted and by how much.
I am very much an amateur at this and hope that you will treat me gently
for which I thank you.

Best wishes

Ian
