Title: Mach4 Help pls, Position display doesn't match reality
Post by: eurolenny on February 25, 2022, 03:47:51 PM

1st, I am running a Hicon Integra 7766 for control.

I have scaled steps per unit in the motor tab of mach4 to equal, in my case, 10184 steps per inch on X axis. When I command x1.00 I get x1.00 movement but the position display shows 1.0184 rather than 1.0000 inches.

Now, If I goto Configure - Plug-ins - Hicon - Motor tab and execute movement there I have the choice of displaying units or steps. This display is correct.

Please help. I'll add pics if it would help.

Got it.

Turns out I needed to add my feedback ratio to the Aux Motor tab under Mach4 Config.
