POWERSTEP01 external step input

[pf8645]

When using the external step input of the Powerstep01, will the internal logic also use the advanced fast decay mode and switch between micro and fullsteps if a given speed limit is reached?

Or does the step input only count microsteps and not using any of the advanced modes that are used when profiles are defined by using the Move/Run etc commands?

Thanks for any hints

The best solution to increase the maximum speed of the stepper is using the full-step driving. Unfortunately this conflicts with the second objective: reducing resonances at low speed. In fact the best way to reduce resonances is the microstepping mode.

Using the embedded motion engine you can take advantage of the automatic full-step mode, but in step clock mode this feature is not available.
