Panaceabeachbum,

You were correct.  The autoconfig set the "Steps Per" to 333, it just didn't raise the "Velocity" which I did not notice.  Once I set it to 110 inches per minute everything matched up.  I now consider myself an official knucklle head.

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

Do you mean in "Motor Tunning and Steup" - "Steps Per" ??

The "Auto Config" changed "Steps Per" from 3600 to 333 but that just resulted in the stepper rotating as slow as the traffic here in Chicago.  The stepper can rotate much faster.

Hello,

Have been using Mach3 for over a year, great program!!  Anyway, to pick up the pace, I am converting my screw drives to belt.  My steppers are tuned to optimal performance never had a problem.  However, with the new belt drive, I move 6 inches versus 1 inch with the old  screw.

My question is,

How do I set Mach 3 so it displays (measures) 6 inches of movement instead of 1 in the axis travel (X Y Z display)?  When I run the auto calibrate it just sets the stepper to super slow.  What am I missing??

Thanks!
