I am not an EMC developer. I am a challenging user, just like most of us :-)

Yes, I reported on this list that the step rates that were being used by
the "test axis" function in stepconf is different from the step rate
being used by Axis. I am not sure if this has been picked up. I did not
look at the exact pulse width and pauses between the pulses. I could do
this next week since I do have a logic analyzer that can be hooked up to
my PC.
You should however be aware that stepconf does indeed (as far as I know)
not acknowledge any manual changed in the HAL files.

I almost showed up in Names (Namur) in Belgium. It took me some time to
realize this was a TLA and not the name of the city

Wow, with your wife almost throwing out all your stuff that's very nice
to write ;-)
I will also start learning again. Somehow my stepper motors stall
already at low speeds whereas I think they should be able to run faster
- improper timing could be an explanation for this.

Rob
