Jim,
I appreciate you positive experience. I have been manipulating all the speed parameters in setup including RAPIDSPEED, ACCEL, and DECEL, but can not get better than 20 ipm. It looks like the stepper board acts like a Galil card. I hope you might be able to tell me what motors you were able to use successfully? I am able to run the motors I have quite nicely with a step pulse generator from Anaheim that bypasses the stepper board so I think the powersupply and Gecko drives are working fine. It seems to be a problem with how the step pulses are configured and issued by the stepper board.
I am just to the point where I was hoping someone who had done a Bridgeport could tell me that they used motor x brand and model and are satisfied since there are supposedly many out there who have done it.
Thanks,
