MM and Inch Motor setup
«

So I searched this bit but I am still confused. What I found didn't work.
So I have Chinese CNC they sent instruction that run it on MM, but I want set up a profile in inch's as well.
I know I have to make changes to the Motor Settings.
My Steps per are 320
Velocity is 1500
and Acceleration is 300.
I am not sure which way to times, or divide by.
Thanks for your help.

steps/inch = 320 x 25.4
velocity = 60
accel = 12 maybe?

How do you come to that? I understand the steps I just don't understand the other 2.
Thanks

1500mm/min is about 60 inches/minute (1500\25.4)
Same with accel (I think), divide by 25.4

Thanks Gerry. I wasn't sure how everything in those setting related to each other.
While I got your attention is there a place to set the Default FeedRate for jogging. I have to set it under feed rate prior to using jog. It defaults at 6 and I was wondering if I could default it higher.
Thanks again for help.

The jogging rate is a percentage of the current feedrate, which defaults to 6. In General Config, you can add a feedrate to the Initialization string, like F50, or F150.
