What formulas do you use to calculate "steps per unit" for the motor settings in regards to the A - axis (rotary)? I have gone through the Mach2 manual and I can't quite figure out if you use the same formula used to calculate linear axises or some variant of it. For some reason I am just drawing a blank.
I am going to be using a stepper motor directly mounted to a gearhead which has a 50/1 ratio and I will be using a Xylotex driver in 1/8th micro-stepping mode.
Anyone know what the proper formulas I need to use?
Thanks
