So, first off -- i'm what you'd call a CNC noob. got that outa the way... ok, so i just got my Xylotex driver and Xylotex 425oz steppers hooked up and can move them around with mach3 no problem. Then i set mach3 "steps per" to 8000 (using 1/8 step and 1/2" 2 start, 5 turn per inch acme thread -- please correct me if i'm wrong) once i changed the "steps per", my motors basically start to move, then lock up. until i stop the program, or the g-code changes direction...
Firstly, i want to know... is this damaging any of my motors/driver? are my steps per correct? advice how to fix it? Thanks in advance.
