    how to smooth out stepper operations

    My stepper motors now are working alright. The only thing is that they are making a "cranking" type noise. Its rather loud, and does not sound good. I am running at 1/8 microstepping.
    Tried with another motor with the same result, this is happening to all 3 motors so i am pretty sure its something else. ANy ideas would be helpful
