I just wanted to verify my steps per unit. I calculated 8000.
My calculation is based on the motors being 1.8 deg. or 200 steps per rev.
I have Nema 23 steppers at 495oz. Using Keling 4030 drivers set at 1/8 microstep.
Mechanical Drive - 1/2 10tpi 2 start screws ( I calculated .2 thread pitch so 5 revs per unit)
Here's my formula:
200 x 5 = 1000 then 1000 revs per unit x 8 (for 1/8 microsteps) = 8000
or
200 x 8(microsteps) = 1600 then 1600 x 5(turns per unit) = 8000
Does this sound correct?
