Check the setting of your Wantai dip switches (SW5 to SW8) that is the actual steps per revolution you should be using in your calculation.

So my question is will I be able to tie the ground from the breakout board to the same ground of the laser power supply and attach BB terminal 17 to PWM?

Yes.

I think you will find that Version R3.043.062 is the best one to use.

SmoothStepper USB / Re: X-AXIS DRIFT ONLY WHEN PROGRAM IS RUNNING

As a test...
Reduce your X Axis Velocity and Acceleration settings by 50% in Motor Tuning and apply the change. Run your problem Gcode file - do you still get X Axis drift ?

Hi mttopcarver,

Welcome.

In Demo mode Mach3 will only run approx. 500 lines of code. Once the Mach3 license is installed that limit is removed.

General Mach Discussion / Re: autoset Xpos after homing

« on: October 14, 2021, 07:27:10 AM »

I am not sure I fully understand your question but if you just wish the X Axis DRO to read 800.0000 after the homing sequence has completed then…

Operator /  Edit Button Script, click on flashing REF ALL HOME button and add the following line to the end of the script;

Call SetOemDro(800,800.0000)

Click the yellow Save Script file.
