but people like this board more then the Leadshine 3660
G540 has no microstepping ( it did not when i used them ), it just has a divider by 10, so basically for every 10 steps you send to it, it moves just 1 step. For 9 steps it does nothing ! Same was with G320 servo drives, had to open them and remove the divider.
Noticed that several years ago when i made direct belt driven cnc for engraving, using 20 teeth 2 mm belt, it was very noticeable and utterly useless. But on a big cnc router ( over 1 ton weight ) with big reductions it was very usable and still is in use every day. Quality is very good, but i stopped using them since i found LAM Technology.
