Steps per is irrevelant.

I'm talking about the display in the DRO.  It vascillates around between 358.4 or so, and 0.9 degrees.  Around a circle or square it goes fro 0.00 degrees to 0.9 degrees or so.

It should do the full 360 degrees - NO?  How far the motor actually moves is a number setting.  Right now, it is set at 50 SPI or 18000/360.

Can you post a typical gcode file that you use?

Also, is the rotary axis set to angular in general config? Also in Genreal config, you can allow for 360 rollover. Do you have soft limits set for the rot. axis?

It's a simple square with filleted corners and a few holes.

Nothing fancy.
