The stepconfig wizard only seems to work when setting up a completely new configuration, There after I cannot test the axis when modifying the configuratiuon.
I just tried reducing the acceleration.... velocity is now 5 and acceleration 1 It seemed to make the text miss-alignment slightly worse. Is this really such a hit and miss procedure? I just spent a fair amount of money and I figured there would be a set formula for given equipment, But thanks for your efforts > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Stephen Wille Padnos" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" <emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> > Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Micro stepper driver MSD542 / KL-5042 > Date: Mon, 19 May 2008 13:12:17 -0400 > > > aaron Moore wrote: > > > I do not know the answers to these questions.
