Re: Steppermod vs freqmod

Steppermod is older and exhibits a bit more jitter. It can also spit out
more pps than can freqmod so it might make an axis go faster. If they
both work, pick the one that lets the motors run the quietest. You might
need to fiddle with axis PID tuning a bit with freqmod.

Glad to hear of your success.
