Need help with microsteps

[iankil]

Hello

Im running a huge cnc machine with chains and sprockets, my old electronics was to weak so i bought new drivers and steppers with 425 oz-in and after testing it it works really good.

Now i need do the math, im looking for 1/16 steps since that is what i want and had earlier but the drivers looks different from what im used to (see attached image).

On the drivers i had before the microsteps was 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 etc but on the new ones its 400, 800, 1600 and all the way up to 25000 Steps/rev

Im confused, what setting is close to, or is 1/16

Thanks
Janne

it shows step/revolution for a 1.8 deg motor , a 1.8 deg motor is 200 steps/ rev , multiply that by 16 (micro steps)

Thanks, so its 3200 for 1/16 just want to be sure

3200 is correct for a 200 step per revolution motor and 1/16 microstepping.
