"Wow!! 2000 steps per revolution!!!! LOL"
Hi Woodknack,
Good thing I visited your site

before I reply, otherwise I might have let off like John Conrad :-)
Questioning how I came up with 2000 steps per rev!!!
Your sound like a jolly fellow from your website, even humble enough to admit to being a parrot, so I'll let that pass.
1 revolution = 200 steps (full stepping)
Gecko201 10x microstepping
1 revolution = 200x10=2000 steps
From your site, you are using Xylotex board which uses 8x microstepping I think, so I believe you will get 200x8 = 1600 steps per revolution!!!!!! So where did I go wrong???
Master5 can tell me how many steps per second I can get with any computer (constant I think). TurboCNC does even better, it somehow reads the inside of my computer and tells me how many ipm I will get. So could someone please tell me how many steps per second I will be able to get out of DeskCNC.
BTW what is LOL?
