Everything is half scale...

Hello, 

I guess this isn't exactly an Axis problem, but the problem doesn't seem to be present during configuration. 

Every axis is half its scale. If I move 100mm, the physical machine moves 50 (while Axis shows 100).

​​​​​Why I'm posting it here and not in the PncConf Wizard section (which I use for configuration) is because when I test the axis during configuration, they move the right distance. I also checked whether the microsteps correspond with the steppers (they do). 

I'm currently on mobile, so I can't upload .ini and .hal files right now, but will do so later, if it helps. 

TIA

TL;DR for solving the issue: Doubled the amount of microsteps per axis.

Set the scale in PncConf to twice and test again, see if it moves the right amount.
Might be an issue with PncConf or might be drives if they have "microstep morphing" or something similar used by Gecko drives and some others.

Hello,

thanks for the answer. I've been looking for a way to change the scale, but it seems I missed it. Can you tell me where it is exactly?

The scale would be set in setup screen for the axis motor.

If you like youu can post your .ini file from your config folder as it might be easier to just edit the scale there.

Thanks guys. 

So, to be clear, what I basically do is double the amount of microsteps, right? That seems to work, although now I need to scale down the amount of microsteps on the drivers to get the speed I want, because LinuxCNC is complaining that the maximum velocity is too big for the step timing.

But hey, I'm getting there! Seeing the router move on its own for the first time was a glorious moment for sure. 

Now off to learning CAM...
