Need a stepper driver suggestion to go with my 2012 DSP

Hey All -
I have a Buildlog 2.x laser, and am installing a 2012 DSP. I've been having some trouble with the Buildlog 4-axis board as a stepper driver, and I think I'd like to just replace it with some drivers that are not pololu based.
Any suggestions?
Much appreciated.

try in lasercad 25.000 for X and Y then make a square of 50mm cut it then measure the real numbers and put them in this should take care.
the driver setting I would start with the setting of 8 on the dipswitches

cool, cheers, I must have a wire in the wrong position or something as I have it set to those, and it still is like a spider on a hot plate. jittery all over when you try to do a box.

Hi
I just remembered that I had a guy who did use the wrongconnection instead of X-Y he used the U-Z on the dsp
check this.
did you connect the driver like the schedule shows??

Have you tried changing the Pulse Edge on the Manufacture's Settings?

no I'm just about to change it for the setting s Walt posted elsewhere. May have messed up the user parameters, anyone got a screenshot of how they should be for the moshi upgrade? Failing that is there a way to reset to default?
Just to double check is the "range" the maximum table size? I.e. 300 x 300.
Cheers, tim.
