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.
