The one worrisome thing about my new build is that I can’t seem to get the same amount of assistance with Mach4 & ESS as I do here with Chilipeppr. My friends here were the quickest problem solvers around. I have others on other forums helping, but I must say not as responsive as CP & some reprap & 3D printing forums. My Smooth Stepper is apparently not configured right, or something. So, I’m a bit in limbo
Why don’t you run CP on your new machine if you already know your way round it?
I bought the motion controller so that I could run 5.5A steppers on the
machine as well as being able to run a program offline. Also, I love CP and
TinyG (though I’ve had issues with TG) but there are some limits that Mach
doesn’t have. Also, I blew-up 2 TG controllers, so I’d have to buy another.
I’m currently running grbl on my other machine. It’s ok (not ideal).
Why don’t you Just use a arduino due with g2core ans your own external stepper?
I do it myself too
