Hi,
I've written a Arduino command-line utility to test stepper motors using the command-line or a joystick.
Of course you would need an Arduino, and stepper (electrical) drivers for doing the heavy electrical lifting.
It can be used to test motor timings for configuring LinuxCNC. RDL is not meant to machine things with, but it is useful for testing and moving motors, as well as run experimental stuff too piddly for LinuxCNC. Or course, it can make a rotating store display by RPM, as well : )
It has smooth acceleration, but that can be disabled. Most settings are saved to EEPROM.
Right now, I am using it for moving the axis on my CNC machine while I finish building and wiring it.
There is a video manual, a video for V2, and even a code review linked to the code.
