Basically without going into all the math and drawing it out, the pulse/ signal rates are faster and smoother and the overall higher hz rate is higher then all axis on mach3 combinded. I tried it with desktop and brand new laptop, mk4 motion cards, and other b.o.b.s, I've use Nema 23&34 stepper and hybrid servos, i ran 2010 screenset with touchprobe function. Don't get me wrong, you can make good parts with mach but when I run 100K-200K lines and walk away, I guess mine freezes and I have to hit cycle star to get it to continue. Along with too many versions and plugins with glitching on both computers I wanted to look for an alternate. I don't know alot about computer hardware logic or code stuff. I also own that DDCSV1 stand alone control off eBay and the backlash comp didn't work and it was metric only with no direct editing capability from the console, so I figured if Imma buy chinese off of eBay, then let me make a mid range purchase. That's all. Didn't mean to sound like a grifter or business rep, just excited about a CHEAP copy of higher priced Fanuc type control that I'm used to. As far as support, I mean emmediate email response on setting up parameters or verifying compatibility with other components and assistance with schematics. I pray nothing happens with the internals, and no I don't have anyone to fix it if it breaks but what the hey, let's try it out and if it works then great. But I have been holding +/-.001 easy and haven't really tweaked anything, all default and calibration variables necessary to get it working and slight backlash comp. Just saying, but whatever works for you is good to me. I'll try to post when I get back in town.
