Actually, it's another argument to get the accel/decel., step and direction
stuff out of the pc. Use the pc for the user interface, and let it tell the
(stepper OR servo) motor controller where to send the servos, and let them
figure out how fast they can do it without losing synch. You are really
begging for trouble trying to control real time non-linear stuff and
interface stuff with the same processor. There is certainly a good argument
for closed loop servo in place of open loop steppers, particularly where the
motors are near unable to move the mechanism every step. Closed loop
steppers area still a possibility though.
imho...
