    STEPS PER UNIT MOTOR TUNING ISSUES



    Hi all



    Need help



    When I do my motor tuning first manually, this I know how to do well and all the motors sound fast and responsive enough!

    However when I then go and do the Steps per Unit in Mach3



    The motors go far too slow and almost judder sounding


    My question is how would you overcome this issue?

    After you change the steps/unit, you need to change the acceleration and velocity settings.

    How are you moving them? And are they going the correct distance?
