    Default Stepper chatter

    Hi;

    After trying out my latest CNC project, I noticed the steppers chatter at low speeds particularly when ramping up or ramping down. The steppers run very smooth at higher speeds. I know there is a trim ajustment on the Gecko 201 driver boards. Does this adjustment address the chatter?? If so, how do I adjust, trial and error??

    Also, is it possible to change from full step to half or quater steps? How does one do that?
    Thanks
    Jim

    The lower the steps the smother they will run, I believe. I always ran mine in the mirco step, the steppers with not get as much top speed as a half step, but they cut much better.

    Thank You,
