    Looking to add a SS to my DMM Servo Setup

    Hi,

    I have just finished a DMM Servo build and discovered the max kernel in mach is not giving me full performance of the servos, also at the max setting it seems a bit flakey throwing driver watchdog alarms which isnt ideal.

    I dont have any experience with SS but believe I may be able to achieve full rapid movements of my machine currently not available through mach and the parallel port.

    Has anyone experienced parallel vs SS with a servo setup please? Looking for some reassurance I suppose, I contacted DMM who said they believe the servos are compatible with the SS but at this time waiting for confirmation from them.

    Any help would be much appreciated. I did post int eh build log forum but only just saw this SS forum sorry.

    Thanks in advance if you can offer any advice.

    Yes the Ess works with the Dmm system I have a new one but have not tested it yet, there are some CNCZone members that are using the smooth stepper with the Dmm system
    I have tried to reply to your PM but something is not working, I will try again later
