Software Instructions

There are two versions of the old S100SMC software available for download. The first includes features for ramping acceleration and deceleration, half-stepping, position tracking, actual rpm's, actual steps/sec, and other information. The second version has all of these same features and shows the bytes that are transmitted from the computer to the S100SMC and from the S100SMC back to the computer. This information can be very useful in understanding the communications protocol for the S100SMC (more info on the protocol is available here.
