Here is what Phil said about it.
Steps per unit division in the motor drivers is likely off as well for the
V2 outputs (which is affecting CNC and manual calibration. Correct setting
for the V2 output for the drives is set by the dip switches on the left
side of the drive. Depending on which drive you have, and which
orientation it is installed in the correct settings for the V2 output
should be, reading from 1-4, left to right when looking at the side of the
drive, dip switch up, down, down, up. If flipped over it is down, up, up,
down.
So now with those dip switches changed to the new settings the default steps per unit of 20360 is more or less right now. I am re-calibrating the steps per unit now in mach 3 using the set steps per feature on the settings tab.
This type of information is completely lacking from the official documentation. I think every toggle should be explained in the manual and the OEM settings should be documented. Unfortunately Phil disagrees...
