thank for reply,I've read tuning motor chapter,and make my calculation as below
pitch=1/5 =0.2 effective pitch =0.2x2=0.4
screw revs per unit =1/0.4 =2.5
motor revs per unit= 2.5xNs/Nm=2.5x1 =2.5 (1:1 drive ratio because my gear has no teeth)
mach3 steps per motor revs =200x32 = 6400
mach3 step per unit = 6400x2.5 =16000
would you please check this calculation if it right and if drive ratio 1:1 is right.
thank you for your support
