How are you using the TeensyStep library on an RPI4?

I actually started this project a couple of years back with a view to making a standalone motor controller with a Teensy 3.2 board. Part of the reason for choosing a Teeensy was the excellent Teensystep library, it wasn't difficult to get the motor running and responding to commands. Then life intervened.

I'm just now getting back to the project and decided to get the Teensy out of the project and replace it with Linuxcnc running on the RPI4, I had forgotten some of what I had done in the past.

I couldn't understand why the Teensy could run this motor but Linuxcnc could not. Much of the reason was my sheer ineptitude (must get better) with Hal and Ini files, but a revisit to the the library I had used with the Teensy had a clue with step pulse width, I used the same pulse width in the steplen setting in the ini folder on Linuxcnc and that was enough to get the motor working, on linuxcnc no library required.
