X-carve linux cnc upgrade tuning

ok i'll have a look for it in abit.

trying not to be so lost in all of this.

Which videos?

If you put a halmeter on stepgen.N.counts, do the counts increase between pulses, or is it a pulse every time the count increments?

so the pulse is every time the count increments.

That's the stepper stepping. The only way to reduce that is in the hardware, specifically by increasing the microstep ratio.

(You need to tell LinuxCNC that you have done that, either by manually editing SCALE or changing the settings in the config wizard.

My microstep setting is at 8 what do you recommend

How far does the machine move with every step?

I think that you might just have to accept that that is how the machine is with very slow moves.

Look in the sample G-code for daisy.ngc.

Going from memory I think it moves about 130 steps per inch.
i got that number from the hal that you told me about.
