Look at Tompson in the US for small ball screws.  They have three styles of
nuts.  They are expensive because they are spec'd to have micrometers of
error.    I was going to buy from Tompson but ordered a Chinese 16mm screw
and found that within my ability to measure the Chinese screw was perfect.
But all I have are some normal test dial indicators.


Again, these stepper drivers are not going to accept command lines.  They
all use point and click based software.  To set a limit you just fill in
the field and click "save".

The trick is in finding who is the manufacturer and then going to their web
site and getting the software.
