Re: need help compiling EMC



using steppermod or freqmod?

stepper motors are pretty slow. You need lots of volts available 
, say 10x the nominal motor voltage , to get much speed out of them.

and the realtime parts of emc will limit you to say 10k steps/second 
anyway (depending on your ini settings)

you need to supply a little more relevant information.
