Mach3 and Picstep
This is primarily a Mach3 question but I am using Picstep4 with v2 firmware.
My machine:
200 step /rev bipolar motors
18 tpi screw
and I want to 1/4 step
First, Am I right in calculating this to be 14400 steps/in? I would enter this in the motor tuning dialog box
If I then go back and zero out the axis then Jog the machine, it should read "1.000" when my machine has traveled one inch, right? Mine doesn't
I have a shunt on the J1 jumper but not on the J2 jumper on Picstep. This should be 1/4 stepping in the v2 firmware right?
What am I missing?
Thanks,
John W
