[quote="basdebruijn, post:18, topic:3161"] software step generation [/quote] I'm not sure what you mean by "step generation". The motors we use can either be driven by Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM), and most micro-controllers for this purpose do that in hardware based upon a defined level. Given that the exact API on how to set the PWM is MCU specific, I wonder how "generic" MachineKit would be. Also, given that the code for this is largely trivial and consists out of writing an input value to the right output register, I wonder what benefit is to be gained from MachineKit. --- [Visit Topic](https://discourse.ros.org/t/why-dont-we-use-ros/3161/19) or reply to this email to respond.
