I have no idea when/if the extra I/O might be an issue. SeaLevel does " not recommend setting the latency timer below 4 msec" and 4ms is apparently the latency of the Uno Atmega8u2 (no hits on the 16u2) so 4ms sounds like a good starting point. Digi), FTL themselves do not recommend 1ms because it " is the same as the USB frame length" *.

While a common recommendation is to set the FTL USB2serial chip driver to 1ms intervals (e.g.
The Uno and Mega 2650 use the Atmega16U2 (older = 8U2) and most of the cheap Arduino clones use a cheap CH340 chip (left) which has no latency option. the Estlcam FT230XS and Nano (and old Mega) FT232R (right) chips. This appears to only be an option with the FTL USB2serial driver, i.e.

Slightly off topic at this point, but I noticed at the end of the Estlcam controller page he mentions increasing the responsiveness of the controller by having Windows check for new data from the controller more often than the default 16ms. I'm too cheap so my latest DIY is a custom Nano shield
The YRCNC UNO shield w/ isolation looks like a good Estlcam compatible GRBL shield, but it's ~$83 when shipped to the US. Tonio Grawe provides all the documentation needed to make a basic (no isolation) Estlcam Uno shield. The only ready-made (or kit) Estcam specific shields, that I know of, are available from (Germany). once again (nov21) available from Rocketronics (~$113 shipped). Shipping to the US is more than the cost of the board, but it is. The Estlcam Terminal Adapter is the only Estlcam specific control board (pictured), but it is only available in the EU (~50EUR) unless you make it yourself (complete open source documentation available). The primary difference is the processor pin layout and Estlcam can be configured to use Estlcam or GRBL layouts. While there are only a few Estlcam specific boards, Estlcam can be installed on most? GRBL boards. While an Arduino board and a simple screw shield is all that is required, there are numerous CNC specific shields and controller boards with added features (optoisolation, adjacent sig/gnd pins, etc.) that can make them more reliable. Uno and Nano) or ATmega2560 (Mega) micro controllers.

The Estlcam controller software can be installed on boards with with ATmega328 (e.g.

The cable was also convenient for shielded 24v and ground pairs between the power supply and drivers - 2 x 22awg = 19awg. driver step/gnd and dir/gnd) all the way to the adjacent signal/ground terminals on the shield. The cable allowed shielded signal/ground pairs from all external components (e.g. I used two shielded pair 22awg sound/security cable for everything not in the drag chain.
While the cause could have been a single bad connection, I decided to rewire everything with shielded cables. The motivation was Estlcam USB errors, which it appears can be caused by any signaling/wiring issue.
The primary purpose of the design was having the signal and ground terminals next to each other to maximize shielding and minimize mess (not possible w/ a basic screw shield). Especially on the crowded top row, using crimp ferrules makes it much easier to (re)hook things up reliably. While I had been using pins and plugs and was planning on upgrading to latching plugs, the layout seemed to work better with screw terminals (the driver gnd pins/plugs were an as-built change). While I have no need for them, I may add a daughter board for isolated limit switches (via 6 pin stacked header). The pictured Nano shield ( w/o Nano) is the latest and currently supports drivers, probe, DC-AC relay/VFD run and VFD speed - all but the probe are isolated via external optocouplers (e.g. With no relatively inexpensive Estcam (or GRBL) pinout shields available to the US I've been making my own.
