    Its not that the smoothstepper cant control the speed of the router under certain combinations of hardware. Its the G540, SuperPID, and SmoothStepper that seems to be the issue.

    I did read it all and tried every thing on the thread.

    I have been able to successfully control the speed of the router with a G540 and SuperPID using a parallel port.

    IF anyone has been able to control the speed of the router with the G540, SuperPID, and SmoothStepper I would be real interested in how you got it to work.

    I have also contacted both SuperPID and SmoothStepper and am still waiting for a response. Currently my stance (to my CNC builders) is that the SmoothStepper works in every reguard but the one mentioned above.

    If this does get resolved I would be happy to test it and update my current projects.
