    X4 with mach2?

    Does anyone uses X4 with mach2 controller? I need the following config:
    Motor tuning (x,y,z,4 velocity, accel, steps per unit, minimum pulse, direction precharge)
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for answering, but what about that info (X4 Motor tuning (x,y,z,4 velocity, accel, steps per unit, minimum pulse, direction precharge) do you have it?

    well they areall in the xml but here is how mine is set
    x= step per 10160, velocity 150, acc 23.407972, step&dir pulse 0
    y= step per 10160, velocity 150, acc 15.329724, step&dir pulse 0
    z= step per 10160, velocity 61.62, acc 6.3730315, step&dir pulse 0
    a= step per 400, velocity 1500, acc 200, step&dir pulse 0
    spindle= step per 10, velocity 120000, acc 20725, step&dir pulse 0

    by the way my machine is imperial not metric dont know if it as an impact but i dont think so

    Medieval Units.

    With metric units the steps/unit will be different.
    Simply ratioMETRICally change things I think.
    Don't change the A-axis unless you wish to use grads or radians (LOL)

    Just a guess but try these values:
    x= step per 4000, velocity 380 ??, acc ?? 23.407972, step&dir pulse 0
    y= step per 4000, velocity 380 ??, acc ?? 15.329724, step&dir pulse 0
    z= step per 4000, velocity 160 ??, acc ?? 6.3730315, step&dir pulse 0
    a= step per 400, velocity 1500, acc 200, step&dir pulse 0
    spindle= step per 10, velocity 120000, acc 20725, step&dir pulse 0

    Just change the ?? until the stepper skips steps then use 75% of the value.

    Use a dial indicator with some precision know item on the table to confirm that the step value is correct for each axis.
