It's not so much the 2.1 ohms, though that can be an indication of high inductance. It's the 9mH per phase that slows you down. If you take a quick look at the graphs in the following WIKI page: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Stepper_Motor_Speed_Limitations they will give you

You do realise EMC requires Linux and a realtime kernel. Learning how to debug on Linux will be more helpful to you. So windows is just not used for EMC unless its a remote display, with the control part running on the Linux box. Dave Caroline On Sun, Jul 31, 2011 at 1:48 PM, MengJianjun wrote:
