Steps per inch formula, What I am doing wrong? | |
I am trying to determine my steps per inch for servos with a 1024 ppr encoder, but my calculation seems to be off. The screw has a 13/64" lead and I have the motors geared down using 32 and 20 tooth pulleys. I was using this...
1 inch /((1/ppr encoder count)*(Motor Pullet Tooth Count/ Ballscwew Pulley Count)*(Screw Lead)
Is this wrong? The software is Mach 1. One thing I am uncertain of. I am assuming G320's will count 1024 steps from the pulse source as one rotation of the motor, right? |
