Hi I'm not sure if this is the right forum but maybe I will get a decent response here. Running a gecko 203v and PMDX-122 based cnc controller. Everything works fine just configuring the steps per inch so that it works properly. The gecko 203s dont appear to use jumpers, (my BOB does) and I couldn't find anything in the gecko documentation provided that talked about micro stepping. I will post my specs here, possibly some can steer me in the correct direction.

Using on my machine.. 1/2"-10 Acme Size, 2 Turns/inch, 6’l, Rh Threaded ballscrews/acme screws

305oz bipolar stepper motors
Gecko 203vs
PMDX-122 BOB

Thanks!
