Hi, a random thought..
My laser machine is about 20 feet away from my computer. So which is the best option for positioning the controller
1/ A 20ft parallel cable to the controller inside the machine and short wires to the steppers
or
2/ A 2ft parallel cable fron the computer to the controller and then 20ft of cable from the controller to the stepper motors
I am wondering where steps are most likely to be lost?
