Doe anyone know what the default micro step settings are for the K40 stock with the M2 Nano board, or even where the config file for those setting is hidden :slight_smile:

Is your machine not moving the correct amount? I don’t believe i have come across such a setting, considering that you cannot access the board firmware. The closets to that would be i believe pixel steps but that would me more like the gap not the actual movement

setting up a rotary device , and hunting info for the stepper settings, not a fan of playing around with just distorting the picture, I figure I put the hard yards in first , it all becomes easy after :slight_smile:

Good luck. Are you just connecting it to the Y motor pin?

5

at the moment, yes, it works I just need to sort out the settings :slight_smile: at the moment a 10mm square cuts about 100mm (not that I have measured yet) but it is huge

I understand. I have a rotary that I attached to my smoothieboard as an A axis and works very well once I convert the gcode

7

which motor did you guys use i am looking into building a rotary but cant find any info on my current motors, i want to use something as close to stock as possible

nema 17 is pretty much the stock and I am using a NEMA 16 , same motor just a fraction smaller in size

9

Any specific specs i should look for ?

2 Phase bipolar (4 lead - can use 6 lead or even 8 lead in a pinch) , 1.8 degree per step (200 steps/rev) Less than 2A (which that size motor will be anyway)
