Mach4 General Discussion / Re: DRO,s scaling error

Thanks for the reply
I found that if I restart mach4 the dro's work properly but the axis travel is only about .04mm. If I go to the motor configuration screen my settings are the same. When I exit the screen the axis then jogs 1mm when I jog it incrementally but the dro shows 25.4mm. My steppers are 200 steps per revolution and my ballscrews are 5mm pitch. That should be 40 steps for 1mm of travel. I found that if I set the steps per unit to 960 then restart mach4 the incremental jog will move the axis close to 1mm but not exactly.
