Gear Ratios and Kinematics

To implement Kinematics I use genserkins and properly added DH parameters for it. But my 6 axis robot arm doesn't move according to the XYZ coordinates. I'm using servo drives for axes. And use harmonic drives. My question is, Do i need to match INPUT_SCALE in all my axes make gear ratios equal..?
For an example X axis of my robot arm has 80:1 harmonic drive and motor driver has 1:20 electronic gear ratio. Y axis harmonic drive has 100:1 ratio and 1:10 electronic gear ratio.
If I make INPUT_SCALE of X = 2000,
Do I need to set INPUT_SCALE of Y = 5000 ?
(INPUT_SCALE x Electronic gear ratio) / (Harmonic drive ratio)
Thank you.

if you are using step-dir then however you work it out the SCALE should be the number of steps to move 1 degree.

You mean calculate INPUT_SCALE right ?

Whatever you want to call it.
As long as the name in the HAL and the INI match you can call it anything. (or you can put the number directly in the HAL)
