micro stepping

hey guys

just a quick question.

page 20 on getting started guide for emc2 states that a value of 2 is to be used for half stepping in stepconf wizard

so i guess this means

1 for full step
2 for half step (in getting started manual)
3 for quarter step
4 for eighth step
5 for sixteenth
6 for thirty-second step

correct?

i cant seem to find the details anywhere!? i hoping you know off the top of your head or know where to point me to.

thanks guys

I'm a newb, Could be wrong

Division 1 is 1/1, half is 1/2, quarter 1/4.... 1/16,,, etc. Often a noted as /2 /8 /10 /16. The 1 is implied.

1 for full step
2 for half step (in getting started manual)
4 for quarter step
8 for eighth step
16 for sixteenth
32 for thirty-second step

Thank you for your help andy.

I dont know why the manual doesnt say that?!! AMOUNT of microsteps per single step.

I guess to me, it didnt seem obvious! though fractions would have..... :-S
