Re: EMC 2.2.13 steppermod working

["Darrell Gehlsen" <darrell-at-machinemaster.com>]

Clint,
I am using the 5.2 kernel and the Feb 29 build and with the Default and Max
acceleration values set at 1.5 I can get at least 225 ipm on the scope.
What I have found actually running a Bridgeport is that about the best I can
get is about 20 ipm before jitter stalls the steppers.
It really looks like we will have to do some kind of hardware signal
conditioning to stabilize the pulse train to get anything faster.
Darrell
