I have collected some information about the equipment.
Can someone help to put all this together.
Nema 23 425oz
Step angel 1.8"
Current 3A
Shaft 8mm
DM542A
SW 1, 2, 3 on, on, off
4 off
SW 5, 6, 7, 8
Can be
400, 800, 1600, 3200 and so on....
I don't know which one to choose
Trapez 12mm
Pitch 3mm from top to top
But how do I calculate all this information correct.
So it fit in mach3?
Am I still missing something
-
Step angle 1.8 = 200 pulses per revolution
Set the switches for 2000 micro stepping
3mm pitch screw
2000 / 3 = 666.66666666666666 steps per unit (mm)

Thanks for your reply...
I was getting 533 or 1066, so something may I have done wrong.
Now I will take a closer look at your post.
