10 microsites per fullstep is built into the G540.
Thanks! So I got this all setup and calibrated. I'm having a few issues:
1: When I put jog speed way down low and attempt to bring the end mill close to the part to touch off by continually tapping the arrow key I have mapped to jog, I see the head doing a small bounce back. Am I just not sending enough of a signal or something by having the jog speed so low and then doing a tiny tap on the jog key?
2: When trying to set backlash compensation on the Y axis no matter what value I put it doesn't seem to be compensating. I've checked that it's the correct motor. I did see that I was setting it in Mach vs the SmoothStepper plugin, and that I did not have the backlash compensation enabled in the SmoothStepper plugin, but I was able to get the compensation to work on the other two axis, so im thinking that's not the issue. I haven't had time to check what happens if I try to set it via the SmoothStepper plugin.
3: I'm running a demo of Mach 4. Is this why the return to work zero button doesn't work? I am guessing that's what I press when I want to return to X0 Y0 Z0 that I've set? It's not working.
Thanks!
