If you're looking to hook up a bus system to your computer, you probably should go toward CAN. Sure, there are a lot of old VFD's around, still using Modbus. I've nothing against modbus, but it is an old hat on it's downhill path, On the other hand, integrating CAN in linux is not to hard. Bu

I've been doing some rework to fix the issues we found. I had made a few subtle mistakes in refactoring the trajectory planner code, which was manifesting as glitches with parabolic blends. I've fixed everything wrong that I found on this front, as well as some other issues with circular arc blends

Hi Description of problem : Mach3 program has standard of 6-12 kHz charge pump frequency, and many devices are compatibile with it. If you have a good computer, you can set base_thread=2 and get 25 kHz on charge-pump.out, this is too fast. The servo_thread gives only 0,5 kHz and is unusable
