Mach4 General Discussion / Small Increment Steps (0.001") are not consistant
« on: July 04, 2017, 01:00:39 PM »
Slowly getting my Sherline Lathe dialed in. I'm using a new laptop, Win10, Mach4 Lathe, UC100, C10 breakout, and KL-4030 Drivers set to 1/8 microstep.
I've got the "Incremental Steps" dialed in perfectly. Any stepping distance from 0.002" and up gives me exactly the distance of movement requested.
However, when I ask for a 0.001" step increment, the motor will attempt to move on the first mouse click (motor shaft chatters but returns to initial position) . Then when I click a second time, the motor does move by 0.001".
This pattern repeats every time. The first click does not fully move the motor, but the second click does.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Kevin.
