The ESS is the Ethernet smooth stepper.? The Usb version is different while the ESS has been perfect on my big servo driven mill. Dan Mauch

Subject: Re: [MachCNC] Replace/upgrade parallel port driver with/to USB? I tried one before getting the ESS. It worked really badly got all sorts of noise and false steps. That was probably because of the DC servomotor on the spindle. It makes tons of noise and even using a well shielded and grounded to the common ground cable it still was terrible.

I have had no issues with my old setup but don't be tempted with knock off versions at a low price as they don't seem to work (so I am told)
