Quadrature Mode - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

Hello. I'm building a router driven by servo using G320 by Gecko, and ran into problem with max output rate of my computer. Some where I heard that if you use quadrature output mode in stepgen you can get steps every base period instead of 2 periods. Is it possible to output quadrature and then convert it to step/dir using an external IC like LS7084. Has anyone had any experience with that?

Thanks.

You probably already are getting 1 step per base period.
I'm assuming you made a config with stepconf.
The base period will limit your max RPM.
