    Configurations issues with Planet-CNC and DQ542MA.

    Hi this is my first post and I admit I am a CNC NOOB.

    I am building an OpenBuilds CNC MiniMill and I am having some issues wiring/configuring. It appears that whatever µstep configuration I am using, I am getting the same translation (I only have the x-axis set up currently).

    You can see my configuration here.

    Is there any more information on how to set this up (other than the Planet-CNC tutorial which does not really go much into settings).

    UPDATE: I was able to address my issue. As it turns out, you have to cycle power to the DQ542MAs to change switch settings. This is why I was seeing no change in displacement from my previous runs.
