Hi Guys & Gals,
I've just set up a Gecko540 on a Dynamyte 2400 with a smoothstepper. It jogs fine but while tuning I had to set the step pulses to 2,580,000 to get the axis to move the correct amount. All axis move smoothly and in the correct direction while jogging. I put a test program in and the z-axis is supposed to move up or negative .800 inches before any others move. Here is where it all goes wrong, the z-axis moves up but it roughly moves an inch but only registers about 145 thousandths so I have to stop it before it hits the positive stop and crashes because it tries to go way to far. Any suggestions? Thanks
