My experience with MPG is:
- slow micro steps joging are ok, but anything a little bit faster or moving further distance present the problem.
- the table does not move "one" for "one", like on the real CNC. It might move first 3 clicks and the table travelling "disconnects" from the MPG due to buffering the steps. This is very dangerous because you might think that you need few more steps, but the new stream comes trough the device even if you stop turning the wheel. The new stream comes out of the buffer and it might cause over-traveling or crashing the tool into work piece.
Some people said that wiring MPG directly to the control board will offer better results (because of the pulse), but I just think that there is a glitch in Mach3 and how Mach3 is interpreting those steps.
I have not found the solution to this problem yet, but there are many people out there with the same problem.
