Building or Buying a Wood routing table.. Beginnners guide.. / Re: Future upgrade of first build
« on: August 07, 2015, 08:30:39 AM »Another thing I forgot to mention is the fact that the driver is only capable of either full or half step, and I am not going to attempt to try and get it to half step as it means soldering a +5vdc supply onto the drive boards themselves as I said these boards were built originally for a labeling machine and not for a CNC!!!!!!, but they were free. So with just full step available when it is running and say going in a circle the noise from the Y axis stepper as it slows down at the base of the circle is awful to say the least so my thinking is if I can micro step that should remove the noise from the steppers?
Sorry if I ask to many dumb questions.

Hi Stewart,
Unfortunately you are stuck with the full or half step that your drivers provide (micro-stepping is only provided by the actual stepper driver chips so you will need to change them to get it ). Gecko G540 comes to mind
