Well I definitely agree with setting it how Ill be working as well. Math doesn't lie so really it not matter what unit screws I got conversions can take place. Now one thing I noticed in the diagnostic screen it the unit change on bottom right. Now thats freaking sweet that I dont have to change one damn setting and pow Im in metric.. So on that note I don't see and issue on either way I set it up if I can switch that easy. Other then of course screwing something up because your adjusting in inchs and think your in mm's. Overall I agree though.
On another note, I have it set right now to 3600 Micro step so 8128/inch, I only went up that high because on direction change it seems to skip steps and be kinda clunky (no load, on bench) if at 1600 or lower.
I had a thought today, would lowering my acceleration fix the step skip problem on direction change? also Is it kinda clunky because of no load?
I read somewhere in my research higher micro step doesn't give better accuracy just smooths. As well you loose torque when raising microsteps. Do most you guys agree with this?
I was going as high in micro steps as I could to still achieve the speed I wanted. Is that a bad way to go at it? my original thoughts where to be at 800, Should I just stick with that? Just for poops and laughs, what are most you guys set at?
