General Mach Discussion / CD Rom Stepper motor settings or recommendations?

« on: October 26, 2010, 11:20:31 AM »

I'm almost done making a tiny CNC machine table using CD Rom mechanicals. The stepper driver is something I pick up on ebay for a cheap price. It works well driving the larger 6 wire type stepper. Very smooth step motion. Has anyone had success driving the 4 wire motors using Mach3? Right now it works but not very smooth. I've tweaked randomly the Motor Tuning settings with very little luck.

Thanks,
Mike
