Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Frozen stepper motor shaft

Hi Steve,

And by the same token, a '/' is not always a division sign. When I
write step/dir, I obviously don't want the reader to divide! Which is
better? I'd say there is room for both!

But hay, I'm flexible, I no longer write MC (Mega Cycles), when everyone
else writes MHz!
